It was three years ago that we launched Town and Country – Manchester Patch and now it’s time to say “goodbye.” Tuesday, Oct. 15 will me my last day with Patch and I just wanted to say, “It’s been an awesome ride!”
It’s been crazy at times, but this job gave me the opportunity to meet some truly amazing people and work with the most creative and professional team. In addition to practicing the journalism and writing I love, Patch also taught me how to build a business from the ground up and gave me the opportunity to explore two amazing communities.
Unfortunately, Aol made the decision to cut the St. Louis area Patch websites as part of a company wide transition that’s taken place over the last few months. Although Patch editors will no longer be on hand in St. Louis to run the sites, the sites will remain up for an undetermined amount of time so bloggers and community members can continue to post items and use them as a community resource.
