CV Patch Celebrates 2nd Anniversary!

It's been two years since we launched Chartiers Valley Patch, and since then I've reported on feel-good stories, heart-breaking tragedies and incidents that make you scratch your head. Click to read the Top 10 stories in 2012.

Today is the second anniversary since we launched Chartiers Valley Patch on Dec. 13, 2010!

Over the past two years, I’ve covered everything happening in Bridgeville, Collier, Heidelberg and Scott Township. Since then, I’ve reported on feel-good stories, heart-breaking tragedies and incidents that make you scratch your head.

We also stimulated conversations about the fate of Chartiers Valley school bus drivers, whether a local dad should have left his kids in Scott Park to shower and if students at a high school hockey game acted inappropriately.
