It's Our Second Birthday!

Two years ago today, Forest Hills-Regent Square Patch came on the scene to provide you with a new way to get news for Forest Hills, Edgewood and Swissvale.

Since that time, we've grown our readership month after month. We know how the local communities interact and have expanded to include items of interest to you within the surrounding communities in the East End and Woodland Hills School District.

We work hard to make your life easy. We provide you with news you can use, a business directory with information about places you go, real estate information if you're looking to buy or sell a home in the Patch area, job listings, volunteer opportunities and grocery specials.

Business owners can target their local customers with an ad on Patch. Click here to find out more.

We want you to know that in the coming years we will continue to be not only a source of news and information—but also a part of the community, a place where residents can go to blog, post announcements and local event listings—and more.

We are part of a network of more than 850 Patch sites across the country. And we are part of the AOL media family. If you haven't had a chance to check out some of the other 14 Patch sites in western Pennsylvania, please do.

It’s been great getting to know everyone—and we can’t wait to make more friends in the community and on our Facebook page and Twitter account.

Oh, and don't forget to sign up for our email newsletter, delivered daily or weekly to your inbox by clicking here. You can also get breaking news alerts delivered to your inbox, too.

Thanks, neighbors, for helping to make Patch what it is today! If we haven't met you yet, we're looking forward to the opportunity to do that soon!
