5 Things You Shouldn't Have Missed

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