That's the cool thing about Patch – we can all be storytellers of our town.

Young, old, experienced and novice turn out Saturday to transform the London Street Passage (a.k.a. The Luge).
The East Greenwich Housing Authority sponsored its 10th Annual Great Graffiti Contest Saturday at the London Street Passage downtown.
