a post by Chris Orchard on Somerville Patch's Facebook page, dated 1:29 pm today, which I'm reposting in full here in case it goes away:

Hey all. Some of you may learn in the next hours and days that a number of colleagues and I were just laid off by Patch. That means I will no longer be running Somerville Patch. I don't know what that means for the site, but I want to say this: Covering Somerville, working with all of you in the community, and having the pleasure of learning and writing about such a vibrant city has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I want to thank all of you for making Somerville such a great place, and I hope to see you around town soon. Thanks for a great (nearly) three years. You're the best. -- Chris Orchard, former editor of Somerville Patch.
