New Neighborhood Gallery

If you have a photo that screams "Santee," it's easier than ever to share it with Santee Patch.

For the first time users have the opportunity to upload photos straight to Santee Patch without having to wait for an article on the subject or signing up to be a blogger. You can access the gallery from a big button at the top of the right rail of the homepage or from the Gallery tab on the main nav.
