A Thank You To Our Readers From Braintree Patch

Thank you, Braintree Patch readers, for taking time in your busy days to spend a few moments with Patch. We appreciate your visits and contributions, and we want you to know we take nothing for granted here. Thank you for helping us to grow and thrive this year.

About eight years ago, in November 2010, we launched Braintree Patch. We've come a long way, and you're a big reason why.

In August, Braintree Patch recorded 42,144 visitors, an increase of 15,713 over August 2017! For a town of more than 35,700 people, that's a lot of readers! Our visitors hail from Braintree, for sure, but many residents of neighboring towns also land on Braintree Patch from time to time, too. That figure — compiled and verified through Google Analytics — includes readers on desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile and our app, and our visitors often access Patch on several devices over the month.

Here are 10 of the most-read articles on Braintree Patch in August.
