I think THE PATCH needs to get their act together. It's a great idea but there have been too many times that articles are missing. Another annoying issue is when they have a headline and the accompanying story is five or six paragraphs below. Come on PATCH, we know you can be better.

Yeah it is a shame that Patch has stopped any original reporting. It was great when it first came out but now a lot of Patches copy and paste from other newspapers and cross post the same stories in other Patches just to drive up their UVs. Too bad Patch doesn't go back to doing real news.

Main Line Times is much better. This site is an example of a good idea gone wrong. The information presented on the site is almost useless. On a good day one might be able to find how many false alarms went off in Narberth/Bala. How many people are actually interested in that?

Patch isn't local anymore. Peter your a good example of what I'm talking about with cross posting stories just to drive up the UVs. It sounds like you're in Narberth but I'm in Havertown.

I remember when Patch was "hyper" local. Now it's barely "hyper" regional.
