It’s been a joy covering Woodbury.
It was just two short years ago that Woodbury Patch launched the day after Thanksgiving. Covering Woodbury, meeting people and learning about the city has been a blast, and I’m thankful for all the support I’ve received from the community. I always tell people I went from a newspaper that had been around for more than a century to a brand-new website, and while there have been plenty of challenges along the way, so many of you have embraced Patch and what we’re trying to do. It’s a participatory website, so different from any other news platform out there. It’s your site—I just work here.

When Patch launched in Woodbury 15 months ago, a slew of contributors ventured to local businesses to collect information for our directory. The result: Patch Places. Patch Places is the spot to find descriptions, hours, accepted payment methods and more for spots around town. You can even see what your neighbors think of a business before you try it—or write your own review. But local businesses get extra bonuses when they claim their free listing. Owners or managers can sign in and search for their business. Underneath the photos, there is a box with the question: Do you own or manage this location? Claim it! Just click Claim it! and a form will pop up asking for contact information and authorization to claim it. Within a few days, …
