In honor of our birthday, let’s take a look back at some of our first stories.
I remember getting the phone call last April. A recruiter with Patch was on the line. She gave me the good news: I had been hired as the local editor of Temple Terrace Patch. I was excited to help build the site. I gathered business listings for the Directory, found talented writers to help tell the community’s stories and got to know the interesting people that make up this amazing city. I went full speed right up till the moment the site officially launched. That was just the beginning. I did a happy dance, took a breath, and then got back to work. It’s hard to believe that was a year ago. This job is more than just a 9-to-5. I live and breathe Temple Terrace, and I couldn’t be happier about that. I’m so thrilled about everything Temple …
