I agree with all comments above, My husband and I have been regular readers from our home here in Illinois. In good times and bad, OC Patch is a blessing. During the storm, residents who remained in town used OC Patch to let those of us watching in from afar know how our OC homes and neighborhoods were faring. There were several angels of mercy (one I remember was Jane Rubino) who walked throughout the neighborhood looking at specific residences and posting on what she found. This was such an encouragement! As a result of OC Patch, we feel so much more connected to Ocean City than we did before the Patch began. Many thanks to all involved, but especially to Douglas Bergen, for making this possible.

Congratulations, Doug. You provide a valuable service to Ocean City residents, and to those of us who look at Ocean City as a second home, even if we don't live there.

Congrats Doug! You got if off the ground. Patch provides an invaluable service to this community. If it were up to me I'd vote the local press "Man of the Year".
