Park Slope Patch: One Year and Counting

Park Slope Patch celebrates its one-year anniversary today!

Happy Birthday Park Slope Patch!

It's hard to believe that just one year has passed since Park Slope Patch first began publishing. On December 7 last year, we were getting ready to launch the site from the ground up, and getting ready to embark on covering the greatest neighborhood in Brooklyn! 

Now, with a year under our belt and looking forward to many, many more, we just wanted to say thank you to all of our readers, writers, bloggers, neighborhood businesses and the community for supporting us throughout the first year of our “life,” sending news tips and contributing to our online presence.
