You Ask … Patch Answers

New column will answer your burning questions about Wheaton.

Have you ever wondered why the Pothole From Hell in your neighborhood is still there? Why temporary detours seem to become permanent? 

Well, so do we and we're going to do something about it. But we can't do it without your help!

You Ask … Patch Answers is a weekly column for locals looking for solutions to community problems or issues. Everything from deer control to missing street signs to eye-sores to local mysteries: Why has nobody removed the graffiti from the water tower? Why the same roads seem to get paved over and over again? What used to be in that abandoned building?
