Editor's Notebook: Patch Celebrates its 100th Site Launch

Since launching May 26, Agoura Hills Patch has been dedicated to covering hometown heroes and "invisible business" owners,  young world champions and seasoned volunteers, avid hikers and passionate horseback riders, and all of them <3 Agoura Hills. This community may be small, but there are a lot of big personalities.   

And speaking of big, Patch itself is getting larger as it celebrates the launch of its 100th community news website today. Since the initial launch of three sites in New Jersey in February 2009, Patch has expanded to California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

The Patch sites have collectively posted 55,000 articles and nearly 1 million photos devoted to local news coverage. 

What better way to celebrate Patch's 100th site than professing pride for our community? There are many reasons to love Agoura Hills. Here are just a few.
