Hey, East Brunswick: Thanks For Reading Patch!

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — The staff at Patch just want to take a minute's pause from reporting the news and thank the residents of East Brunswick, New Jersey for reading the "The Patch."

Essentially, East Brunswick sits at the center of the world: It's extremely well connected to either New York City or Philadelphia, and sits on New Jersey's pharmaceutical and technology employment corridor. The beaches of the Jersey Shore are just 30 minutes east and pastoral, rolling farmland can still be found here. East Brunswick's property values reflect its sought-after location, as does its highly-regarded public school system, ranked year over year as one of the best in the state.

More than 145,000 visitors regularly read the East Brunswick Patch every month. It's one of more than 100 other "Patch towns" across New Jersey, and more than 1,200 across the United States. That's a lot of local news! Here's another fun fact about Patch: Did you know that Patch is among the 100 biggest websites in the United States? Patch ranks 91st on the most viewed websites in the country, according to Alexa.
