See What Your Neighbors Have Been Writing On The Chicago Patch

Patch's new posting tool makes it even easier for Chicago readers to connect and interact on our site. Here's what you've been saying.

Since launching last month, we've loved how much Chicago readers have embraced Patch's new neighborhood posting tool, and used it as a way to communicate, contribute and interact with your neighbors!

Whether you've been posting panoramic photos of a rainbow, promoting a local politician's next campaign event or looking for a lost engagement ring, you and your community made the most of Patch's new posting feature.

We wanted to take this opportunity to share some of our favorite neighbor posts from 2019 so far:
