You asked, Patch answers: Do you have a question about something in town – a vacant building, a broken sidewalk, a trash collection time? If you do, send it my way. Thanks!

Be a Patch blogger: If you have something to say (and don’t we all?), use the blog platform at Patch to do it. Whether it’s writing about your child’s sports team, your area of expertise (i.e. real estate, financial planning, music … ???), or just about life at home (raising children, caring for an aging relative, being single) – we want to hear about it. The process is not hard and there are not requirements – write when you want for as much as you want. Here’s the link to get started: http://eastgreenwich.patch.com/blog/apply.
