Patch Keeps Getting Prettier (If We Do Say So Ourselves)

Come back later and check out our new look, and let us know how you like it.

Watch for it, watch for it! A Patch facelift!

Patch will look different later today and we hope you’ll find us better looking than ever.

We did a quick visual nip-and-tuck to the homepage to make it even more user-friendly. And we've moved a couple pieces of furniture. For those keeping score:

  • We tweaked some words in our navigation bar to save space (e.g., "Traffic & Gas" is now "Commute") 
  • We moved the weather icon next to the Patch branding so you can find it more quickly! 
  • We moved, well, YOU closer to the top! (Our "shout stream" is now front and center to show all your comments off.) 
  • And of course we prettified a few things. 

While the site might have a new "nose job" of sorts, we still offer the same robust coverage of everything happening in Mountain View. That was, is, and will always be our mission.

We hope you'll let us know what you think of our tweaks—drop me a line or offer a comment below!

We think it will be really fun and entertaining but also a great way to exercise without evenRead More realizing it's exercise! So glad you agree, Claudia! David Dworkin is terrific all around.

This looks like so much fun! (and quite a workout too!). I always wondered what each hand movementRead More meant! Now I can find out!

Thanks for the comment Murthy. I think there's only one Ram Saripalli in the area, but I don't wantRead More to assume. If I learn anything more, I'll post.

Mark, I will contact the SCC Coroner's office for information about his identity and then hopefullyRead More that can help us learn more about this man. I can only imagine how horrible this must have been.

My heart goes out to his family. I'm really saddened that the person who hit him is going to haveRead More to deal with guilty feelings/horrible memories from this, even though it was 0% his fault. If someone wants to take their own life, then that's terribly sad, but I think it's especially terrible to involve or potentially involve someone else in the process.

I'm not sure Gary. I'm not sure if your situation is specific to you or many other users since thisRead More is the first day of the redesign. I'll find out and get back to you.
