An Update From Patch

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

You can still read Patch while the maintenance is underway, but Patch editors won’t be able to post new stories until Saturday evening.

We will be posting vital breaking news in the meantime on our local Facebook pages. (To stay in the loop there, be sure to like the page so the latest updates show up in your news feed.)

Thanks for supporting Patch, and thanks for your patience. We’ll let you know when the site is updated. In the meantime, we’ve pulled together some of the top stories from the past week:
