Greetings!

Welcome to Ellicott City Patch!

In this first edition, we visit the farmers market, where, I've got to say, the red peppers look fantastic.

We meet Moria Liskovec and Apple Dumpling at the Small Miracles Cat Rescue and we talk to the two candidates for Circuit Court County.

Oh, we also take off in a Howard County Police Cruiser. Those things can move! I'd never been in a police car before. Honest.

As Ellicott City Patch grows, I hope to see lots of user generated contenet from you -- the readers. Be sure to let us know who's getting married, who made the honor role, or if you need volunteers.

Also, what news is important to you? If there's something that you think needs coverage, please let me know. Email me with any concerns or complaints (compliments, too!)

And look for me around town. If you see me, come up and say hi.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you and Ellicott City.
