It's Our Birthday!

Exactly one year ago today, Forest Hills-Regent Square Patch launched with the help and support of so many people, including our initial, day-one readers.

Since Dec. 7, 2010, we've grown our readership each month and the story ideas continue to fill my inbox every week. It's so exciting to be a part of something that makes your lives easier every day, simply by giving you the information you need about your own communities.

The East End is a special place to live, and I am proud to know that Patch has only made it better by connecting more people to the places and events they are looking for.

To celebrate this first anniversary, check out a few stories that have highlighted the news in our neighborhood over the past year:
