How Woodridge Patch is Catering to You

Check out the new weekly features you can read every Wednesday and Thursday.

Amidst a blizzard of snow coverage (snow joke, eh?), Woodridge Patch launched 10 new weekly features and our daily PatchCast this week.

I know you've had a busy week shoveling, taking care of kids, shoveling, measuring the snow drift blocking your front door, shoveling...

So I wanted to link to all of our new content and give you a little description about each one and how it will cater to your needs.

Find out what's happening in Woodridgewith free, real-time updates from Patch.

The best part? You can send in your ideas and nominations, and we'll post them on the site. This is about you, remember? Let me know what you think of our new content in our comment section.

Daily PatchCast: Although Woodridge Patch focuses on the news in Woodridge, we know you're interested in news in our surrounding areas, too. What happens in Naperville, Darien or Lemont affects our community, too. Each day, yours truly will round up the top stories from 11 of our surrounding communities (and Woodridge, too) and produce a 90-second video. It's a quick way to get caught up with today's news.
