Patch Boards: An Easy Way to Instantly Connect with Your North Baltimore Neighbors

One of the new features on Patch is "Boards."

Located at the top center of the North Baltimore Patch home page, the "Boards" enable you to make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something.

On the "All Boards" page, you can check out the latest posts from your neighbors or Patch local editor Adam Bednar. You can also select a specific board, depending on what interests you:

• On the "Announcements" Board, you'll see posts like this one about Port Discovery Children's Museum's Play Date Mondays.

• The "Buy, Sell, Trade" Board works just like a newspaper classifieds section. It's a great way to find what you want locally, such as hand-crocheted gifts from this Etsy store.

• The "Business Updates" Board provides local shop owners with a chance to reach out to customers, telling them about specials or store hour changes, or offers such as services offered by certified public accountants.

• The "Speak Out" Board gives your voice a forum. Disagree with your neighbor? Don't just stew over it; write about it. You can also engage your neighbors—like this one about the need for police and community cooperation.
