Share the news. When we know about community news, we're on the case. From important city announcements to power outages and crime, Patch is covering news 24-7. See something you think others should read? All you have to do is click the Facebook "recommend" button above an article or blog to share it with your neighbors and friends. And when you see something let us know. "Hyperlocal" means we cover stuff that's important to you, your neighbors and your friends, but that you'll probably never see on Philly TV or regional newspaper sites.

If you have relevant information to add to an article, jump in and make a comment. There is a comment section at the bottom of virtually every local news story we post. We'll follow up and possibly add it to related articles in the future. Most community stories continue to evolve after they are first reported —you can be a real-time source by commenting.
