Negativity, negativity, and more negativity. No mention at all of the nice race that went through Nazareth on Saturday??? I'm sure a lot of people, including myself, would have liked to read what that was all about. But no coverage here. Shame!!!!

Hi Joy. First I'd like to thank you for being an active participant in the Nazareth Patch community.

I realize this past Week in Review is on the negative side. However, this list is a compilation of the most read stories. The numbers don't lie. And if you take a look at the list under the story—"Other Week in Review Articles"—you'll see that not all of the top news is negative.

And I welcome you to read more positive stories on Nazareth Patch, like:

I'm sorry I missed the race through Nazareth. I was not aware of the event. This is why I need even more residents sending in news tips and submitting events to the calendar.
