What Were the Most Read Stories on Peekskill-Cortlandt Patch This Year

Crime, politics, community and business were the most-read topics on Patch this year.

As the year draws to a close, we thought it would be interesting to highlight the top ten stories in 2011, according to our site traffic reports.

Not surprisingly, the most popular stories are rooted in community: crime, politics, government and local business.

Sadly, some of the most read stories were about the tragic deaths of two young people. Our thoughts have stayed with the friends and family of Ryan Risco, Caitlin Chivonne Polhill and others who this community lost this year. We hope that loved ones have found comfort and healing in each other.
