I also preferred the 'old' Patch - this format makes it difficult to find articles that are aren't…Read More that old. One example was the informative article on who was running for city Council. I was having problems finding it and finally had to query on a candidate's name to find. I don't recall having that issue with the original format. Also our neighborhood had a water break line and we were without water for some hours a few Sundays ago. I tried to find out the reason for the break (because of construction or old pipes?) and could not find anything on the Patch regarding this. Not sure if they just didn't report or I just couldn't find.

Hi Don....thanks for your question. Yes, Off the Grid does pay a licensing fee to the city, and so…Read More far, we haven't heard any concerns by local restaurants.
