Coming Soon! Beachwood Patch Gets a New Look

In one week, Beachwood Patch will have a brand new design and a whole new way to connect.

Hi, everyone! I have some exciting news to share about Patch – we’re getting a whole new look. It’s coming in next week and it’s going to make Beachwood Patch easier to use, and a better place to connect and share. The best part? You’ll be able to see it all on your mobile phone! Here’s what you need to know:   Our site is being rebuilt from the ground up. The news will look better and be easier to comment on. And, you’ll find more local voices to keep you in the loop with the latest know-how and opinion. We’re adding Boards to make it easier for you to connect with each other, debate an issue, or announce your garage sale, graduation, or find a lost pet. More to say? It will be easier to start your own blog, too. You’ll soon be able to …

Show Us Your Snow

Changes at Beachwood Patch Beginning Monday

You'll probably see a little less of me and a little more of my excellent colleague as we move some things around behind the scenes.

You may notice a few changes around Beachwood Patch starting next week. I’m not going anywhere, but after a switcheroo behind the scenes here at Patch, I am getting some help from a coworker. Brandon Baker, who’s worked in journalism for seven years and at Patch for the past several months, will step in as the two of us team up to cover Beachwood, Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights. I will still have a heavy hand in Beachwood — I’ve spent the last two years getting to know the city and building Beachwood Patch from the ground up.
