Neighborhood Coverage is Focus of New Special Section

This week, we at Clayton-Richmond Heights Patch are issuing a simple challenge: Help us get to know your neighborhood.

Earlier this month, we launched a new section called . It's aimed at keeping people in touch with the streets on which they live, work and play. On Tuesday, we added two neighborhoods to the mix—Davis Place in Clayton and Hadley Township in Richmond Heights.

It's our goal to build this list so that it serves you best. We hope you'll use it to keep track of interesting happenings in parts of town that interest you.

But there's more: We want your help finding stories that matter to you.

Maybe it's a profile of the person who's lived in your neighborhood from childhood and knows its history better than anyone else. Maybe it's a series of reports about a controversial issue that has people buzzing. Or maybe it's a video profile of several concerned neighbors who are working together to prevent crime and look out for one another.

Whatever the case, we hope you'll post comments to this page or the Clayton-Richmond Heights Patch Facebook page with story ideas, news tips and suggestions. I also want to encourage you to call my cell at 314-422-9441 or email me at nate.birt@patch.com. And you can continue using our directory to find details about places in each of the neighborhoods that matter to you, whether it's or a new restaurant.

We look forward to getting to know you better.
