Surprising Numbers for Metromix

Metromix, a Tribune backed online venture, is doing surprisingly well. It was launched just this summer and, according to my Comscore reports, is bringing in over half a million uniques a month. That's not shabby for a newly launched newspaper property. Of course, Metromix doesn't really look like a newspaper and no where on the site is there any mention of Tribute. In any case, congrats to the team over there - especially Rochelle Oliver, who's an old friend of mine.

Metromix currently has editions in Chicago, LA, New York, Baltimore, Hampton Roads, South Florida, Connecticut and Orlando. It offers articles and reviews based around nightlife, food, music, movies and TV. I think the site could use some video (call me).
