An Update on Patch

Tonight and part of Saturday, Patch will undergo site maintenance that will increase the speed at which pages load and allow us to make future improvements. This is a first step toward returning popular Patch features such as local calendars and discussion areas.

You can still read Patch while the maintenance is under way, but Patch editors and bloggers won’t be able to post new stories until Saturday evening. Thanks for supporting Patch. We appreciate your patience. We’ll let you know when the site is updated.

Here are some of the top stories from the past few weeks from DuPage County.

• Home Invaders Terrorize Family / Gunman in Texas Shooting Had DuPage Ties / ‘MacGyver Bomb’ Scare at Area School

• Little Survivor of I-55 Crash Goes Home / Naperville Woman Falls While Climbing at Starved Rock / Driver Rescued from Elmhurst Lagoon

• Ex Hinsdale Central Teacher Accused of Sex Assault / DG McDonald’s Serves a Really Weird Burger / Naperville Sidesteps Gov’s ‘Turnaround Agenda’
