Readers should express support for Dearborn Patch to AOL or it may disappear like EveryBlock http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/27/coo-artie-minson-could-exit-aol-patch-issues-to-blame/. Not all local Patch editions are created equal and Dearborn Patch is one of the more robust around the US.

Couldn't agree with you more Chicago Way - Dearborn Patch brings us info about Dearborn that we never had access to before - Jessica does a fantastic job.

Jessica is a great reporter, she is very approachable regarding conversation and information, folk are naturally comfortable when talking with her, and that is '101' in obtaining information and conveying it to the public in a unbiased fashion. We all have our 'views', mine are well known, but she manages to stay 'impartial'. In Dearborn, managing to do that is indeed 'fantastic'. I hope Patch waits it out for the long haul, right now they are a national presence. They need to formulate a business model that generates money, or share with us the master plan so we can get on board the bus and help. Without information, who knows what is going on around us? Someone has to input it, and Jessica does that very well in Dearborn.
