Welcome to Safety Harbor Patch!

Hello, Safety Harbor, and welcome to Safety Harbor Patch!

By now many of you have heard about the site, either by meeting me in person, through our Facebook page or just via word of mouth. In this day and age, news travels fast, especially when something new and exciting is happening in town.

What You'll Find on Patch

For those who aren’t familiar with Patch, it’s an interactive website that covers everything going on in the community, including businesses, events, arts and entertainment and city government. 

Each day we will provide new stories about what is making news in Safety Harbor, from the waterfront park issue to 3^rd Friday to the many businesses that help make the town so great. Patch also features an events calendar, a business directory, and numerous ways for readers to upload their own content to the site. 

As an interactive site, we encourage input from our readers. Whether it’s writing a blog about a topic you are interested in, uploading your favorite photos from around town, or posting events and announcements, Patch is all about user participation. 

About Jeff

By now you probably want to know a little bit more about me, your fearless editor. 

Let me start by saying I am a native of Boston. Hopefully you won’t hold that against me — I have lived in the area for 19 years, so it’s not like I just jumped off the plane from Logan Airport. 

Although my background is mainly in sales and management, I have been writing my whole life. I joined Patch as a freelancer when it first launched in Florida in November of 2010, and last October I became an assistant editor covering businesses for four Patch sites in north Pinellas County.

And even though I don’t live within the city limits, I have quickly become a huge fan of Safety Harbor and everything it has to offer. From the vibrant art community to the invested businesses to the beautiful parks and natural wonders spread all over town, Safety Harbor is, as we like to say, very “patchy." 

Feel free to let me know what you would like to see on the site. You can reach me by phone at 727-253-7739, via email at jeff.rosenfield@patch.com, or just look for me canvassing the community. 

I’ll be the one in the Patch hat!
