Love Ross, West View? Share Your Stories As A Patch Mayor

You're tied in to your community. That's why you would be an ideal Patch Mayor.

If you live in Ross, you know which stores just opened or closed at Ross Park Mall, the Block Northway and North Hills Village. You're keeping an eye on that McKnight Road property that's been mentioned as a possible Walmart site. You root on the North Hills Indians on the football field every autumn and you enjoy a great-tasting pizza from Pelegrino's or Lupi's.

You'd make a perfect Patch Mayor.

If you live in West View, you know the borough is now offering free notifications about weather and public safety emergencies. You stop in at Weigand's or Howard's to see some friends and neighbors and watch the Penguins on TV. You know exactly where the Dips were at the old West
View Park.

You'd make a perfect Patch Mayor.
