Baldwin-Whitehall Patch Turns 1

It seems like only yesterday, but on Dec. 30, 2010, Patch—the hyperlocal news website and community forum owned by AOL—launched in Baldwin-Whitehall.

I've been with the site since Dec. 6 that year, during its building stages, and time has certainly gone by quickly.

As an alumnus of the (and a resident), I've enjoyed the experience perhaps even more than some other local Patch editors. Telling the stories of others who live in and around Baldwin-Whitehall—or used to—has been especially rewarding, as has listening to feedback from readers.

The Baldwin-Whitehall Patch, like all Patch sites, has grown by leaps and bounds since we launched, and that should only continue in Year No. 2.

I looked through our site's archives recently—available here—and dusted off the "Welcome to Baldwin-Whitehall Patch" article (with video). 

It's been a special treat to work as a reporter in my hometown. Here's to the future.

If you're new to our site, to learn about all that the B-W Patch can do for you. 

As always, thanks for reading. You can reach us 24/7 at baldwin-whitehall@patch.com.
