Readers' choice: Nominate Your Favorite Park
Patch wants to know what our readers consider the best of the local parks. We'll compile all the nominations into next month's contest.

News does not happen in a newsroom. I look forward to being out and about seeking out the most relevant and timely community news at Fort Bragg and Fayetteville. Truth be told, I prefer the good news stories, but the crime stories always get more engagement. Presenting the news in a multi-media format is a great package for busy readers. Reading the news on your smart phone or iPad, now that's just Patchy.
