It's a Patchiversary!

Northeast Ohio's Patch web sites are 1 year old!

Yep, it was the closing weeks of 2010 when all of our 17 community-based news, opinion and information websites got up and running.

We’re excited to be marking this very important milestone, and we’d like to invite the community to share in our celebration.

We’ve partnered with at 237 N. Water St. to bring you a special treat: a free cup of coffee for the first 100 people that stop in from 8 to 10 a.m. this Friday.

There’s other treats in store, too: We'll have some stuff to give away, including a $25 gift certificate for future purchases at Scribbles.

So bring your friends and stop by to say hello. We’ll be the ones in Patch green, live-tweeting and Facebooking what is sure to be a fun event.
