Patch wants to be your source for local news coverage. We also want to make online community conversation fun and easy.

Sometimes, it’s our local coverage that is the most  striking thing about the site. Sometimes the most notable thing about a post is the conversations that arise from what we post.

Sometimes we do both things well.

Catch up and join the conversation by following the links below to find some highlights of the coverage and conversation on our site from this past week.
