For a while now, our Patch sites have been bringing you news from Boston to Martha's Vineyard every evening. Starting today, we will focus our 6 p.m. newscast to five towns South of Boston with Patches – Braintree, Canton, Hingham, Milton and Plymouth. Each night we'll bring you a compelling story from all the communities, and also new features like Pet of the Week as we develop the concept. Please reach out to any of the five editors with comments or ideas. Thanks!
