What Did You Say?

Each week, I'll pick two or three of the most interesting story or Facebook comments, questions, or Twitter tweets sent to Mercer Island Patch.

 commented on:

I found the information easily by searching Mercer Island+event venues. It is common sense... people looking for event venues put in key word searches. The City of Mercer Island does not need to hire more consultants... it seems we are consultant heavy and thin on results. Tweak the Community Center website, do some outreach to your target audience , and market to your past customers. There are so many costs associated with a name change.

 commented on:

The tremendous outpouring of community support this morning at the Breakfast of Champions was only possible because of the dedication, support and strong collaboration between the Schools Foundation and the Mercer Island PTA s. The Mercer Island Schools Foundation is proud to partner with PTA to help Bridge the Gap. It is with gratitude and appreciation that we thank the Mercer Island community for the generosity shown today. If you missed the Breakfast, it is not to late to help Bridge the Gap.

In response to "everyone has one" - go to the Parent Peer Group meetings and find out the truth. We have three boys (10-16 yr) without electronic gadgets. No contracts/allowances. We pay for needs. They pay for wants. Love, respect, listening, and family fun times seems to be working so far.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
