Web Writing

The following article was one of approximately 600 articles I composed in a 4-month time frame. The articles were written for Patch.com, a new media business owned by America Online. The company is beginning a Patch in each town across the country. The first step to launch the Patch is to interview and photograph local business, write up brief descriptions of those businesses, and research the company. I performed this first step in Pine-Richland, PA and parts of Cranberry, PA.

I interviewed owners and workers at each business, took photographs, and researched the details of each of these local businesses.

NORTH PARK

North Park is a large community park spanning three townships, including Pine. The park includes activities for nearly everyone - pet lovers can take their dogs for a run in the off-leash fields, children can play in one of many playgrounds, naturalists can visit the nature center and walk down trails, golfers enjoy an 18-hole golf course, and water lovers can fish or boat in the lake. Not to be forgotten, athletes can tone up by running, biking or jogging down one of the many trails with natural scenery.

The park also includes an ice skating rink in the winter and a pool in the summer. There are horseshoe throwing pits, picnic areas, basketball and tennis courts, football and soccer fields, a boathouse with boat rentals, and even a horse showing ring. There are many events throughout the summer, such as concerts in the park and movies. North Park also hosts the Marshall Island Wildfowl Reserve.
