Number 8 there is no Trading Post in Reading and if there is please tell me where

You are correct, Lisa. It has been corrected. Sorry about that error.

Guess you guys still do not get it!

If any advertisers care: my personaly boycott of the Patch has officially begun!!!

Heard some kids from NR talking the other day to some from R. The topic of conversation was "your daddy don't make that much money". Guess that is the root of the divide.

This story points out that the people who run the Patch sites know next to nothing about the towns they claim to cover. And now we get a bunch of derogatory comments made by the residents of one (guess which one) against the other.

This Patch officially stinks.

I live in Reading & think I got more questions wrong about Reading than N. Reading. Don't much care about what's on our town seal, who a school was named after, when library was built, etc. Unless you are in a local historical society,I doubt you know the answers to most of these questions. I care more about the living: what's happening in local schools, new businesses opening, local crime & its resolution, what local boards (Selectman, zoning, etc) are doing.

I can't wait to see how many "ants in their pants" political activists N. Reading has.

Well, here's an opportunity for an entrepreneurial type to launch two new websites!!

Barry, I live in Reading.....but I have to admit, I like your style. This is a disaster in the making. If you can't wean yourself from it, you're in for an earload of nonsense that even we have a hard time with.

Please correct the Answer sheet and "Certificate". It says "Who Well Do you Know.Your Town/Your Neighbor?"- Instead of "How...etc".. Thanks...

Wow, I guess they really went through and elevated N. Reading to think it could be as good as Reading. I'm sure there will be stiff repercussions from Patch if this doesn't last long enough. Reading has the passion to keeps this alive for both communities. The scary thing about both towns is that they are so old that they might need some assistance keeping the site hard hitting with the news.

Mark your calendars, March 7, 2012, the beginning of the end for Patch. They thought that it was tough selling "local" advertising before, well you ain't seen nothing yet!!! If there is anyone that thinks for one minute that some suit that's making decisions at America Online's HQ, cares one iota what any Reading/No Reading blogger has to say, then they are truly dillusional. Bye-bye Patch, it was fun for awhile.

I got all the Reading questions right, and one North Reading question right. This quiz taught me a few things that I already knew. 1. As a kid I went to both the Barrows and Highland Schools, and I still remember their history. 2. That the town seal is on my high school ring, so all I had to do was think of that and knew that answer. 3. The RMHS yearbook still has the same title. Finally 4. I could care less about North Reading. I don't think I will be a member of Patch much longer. Too much of a pain to have to wade through North Reading news.

I liked the Patch but I'm done after today. Just logged on and too much I don't care to read and I can't deal with the juvenile arguing about the towns. They are both great towns just seperate. I liked the Patch for Reading news but I will go back to getting the Chronicle.

Have the Patch editors come out yet to just admit they combined the two sites in response to a lower revenue environment? We are all adults, in the middle of a serious recession, we can handle that sort of reason.

I think a vocal BOYCOTT is in order for any business that continues to advertise on the new RNRPatch site. Voice your dissatisfaction to the local proprietors directly and it may reach someone who might care, like the head of advertising sales. The only way they'll listen is to hit them in the wallet.

This boycott is ridiculous. Reading and North Reading have been basically the same town for over 400 years. When the first settlers to this country founded America they decided that there where too many kids for one high school and split Reading up into two towns, North and South Reading. Think about it though, they share one Papa Ginos and one Jordans. How can you call that two towns?!

We deleted a comment from someone who not only personally attacked another commenter, but also claimed to be someone else. Please show some respect to other commenters and don't claim to be someone you are not.

Les, please enlighten us: when will we see the new Melrose/Wakefield combined site? Or the Woburn/Winchester or Andover/North Andover, or Wilmington/Tewksbury?

Why were we singled out for this "honor"? Seriously, this isn't a rhetorical question. As your "Loyal" readers, I think we have the right to hear the truth.

Hey Patch obviously these Readingites want their own Patch back Give it back to them and give us our own North Reading Patch back

Patch told me that it was a business decision
