According to Patch News after vigorous emails I was told this option is not available anymore as all interaction is now through Facebook. I don’t use Facebook and not everyone does. Very disappointed. Please consider putting this option back for people. who don’t use Facebook. I will be deleting this App for now. What’s the point! I can get my neighborhood news elsewhere. Shame on Patch News. -- Myrna M., 2025-01-01 ### ***** "Pittsburgh News On The Go!" Anything to do with Pittsburgh or West Mifflin, Especially Century III Patch lets you know.
