Top 5 Posts on Bridgetown Bites, December 2024

Data Analytics Chart

Welcome to the final monthly top 5 posts roundup of 2024. Popular posts were all about restaurant openings and closings, with the SE Division Dairy Queen garnering the most interest, by far. Tréla was also something people wanted to read about; it had been in process for years! Following it from an idea presented to the world to its opening was gratifying.

December was a busy month, and undoubtably the best month to date on Bridgetown Bites from a traffic standpoint: Over 28,300 unique visitors generated close to 39,000 page views. Compare that to November’s numbers of 22,600 and 30,000, respectively—25% and 30% increases. It was even more drastic an increase to compare the January to December numbers—140% and 144% increases in uniques and PV.

As always, thanks to you for reading, sharing, and commenting—and for your tips!

I wanted to quickly update a few things here on the site that I had written about earlier.

First, we have news on Bobacat Teahouse, which I wrote about last May. I heard from multiple sources about their soft opening this week and was able to confirm that it will be tomorrow, Friday, July 19. Look for their signature boba milk teas, bubble waffles (including a new chocolate flavor), and more. They also have a new Facebook and Instagram account dedicated to this location. 1411 NE Broadway, Portland
