5) Just another manic Monday: Here's our lineup of weekly columns that run each Monday on Melrose Patch:

• Best of Patch Readers' Choice: We'll focus on a different area of business each week, as we're looking to help Melrosians get the best service, deals and meals in Melrose only. Vote in our polls, leave comments why you enjoy a particular establishment or business, while also posting a review of a local business. The winner is decided upon by the Patch editor, based on poll results and reviews in our Places directory.

• You Ask, Patch Answers: Each Monday, we'll take a question submitted by a reader and try to get the answers you're looking for.

• ? Our weekly mystery photo runs every Monday at 3 p.m. and asks you to guess where the photo was taken in Melrose. Guess correctly and you can win a prize.
