Patch Pays for Parking on Small Business Saturday

Our first Peninsula 'Park on Patch' event is today!

Today is Small Business Saturday, so we hope you'll consider hopping on the bus or in your car and heading out to support local businesses in Redwood City and along the Peninsula today, be it shopping for the holidays or stocking up on essentials.

As part of a new partnership with American Express in honor of Small Business Saturday, Patch will be holding its first Park on Patch event on the Peninsula today (Saturday, Nov. 24) in downtown Burlingame.

We want you to have one day when parking is a pleasure - no rooting around for coins in the bottom of your purse or pocket, no running outside frantically, mid-conversation, to feed the meter.

Patch has paid for dozens of parking meters downtown on Burlingame Avenue - from El Camino Real to California Drive - from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, November 24. Some meters will also be paid for on Park Road.

The two-hour time limit still applies to these metered spots.

Be on the look-out for RedwoodCity-Woodside Patch editor Jennifer van der Kleut and San Mateo/Foster City Patch editor Laura Dudnick, who will be hanging out on the Avenue talking more about Patch and giving away sweet Patch swag like tote bags, water bottles, stickers, pens, tattoos and more!

You'll be seeing more Park on Patch events coming to other Peninsula cities soon.

So spread the word to your friends and family, and we'll see you Saturday.

Jennifer, thank you for all your wonderful work on Patch. Life is a journey and you're on yours.Read More It will be an amazing change for you and family. Real estate will definately be cheaper, which is my bigest gripe with rentals in the bay area. I wish you all the happiness you deserve. Linda Allen

Jennifer: I really enjoyed working with you on the story about the Barnes family and Ballet AmericaRead More back in December. Also liked "following you around town" on the other stories you covered. There will be lots of great people and exciting news back east -- not to worry. Best of luck.

So why do you keep voting for bigger Government? Seems the consumers have solved the problemRead More without "It's" help.

This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing foodRead More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food.... why the secret if it is so safe??? I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about. Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
