CONTEST: Review a Business, Win a $50 Gift Card to Savannah's in Trenton

When was the last time you ate somewhere, bought something or hired someone without first "Googling" the business or product and reading online reviews?

Nowadays, people count on online reviews to help them make sound decisions when choosing a product or service.

We at Trenton Patch want to provide an extensive list of reviews of local businesses to help our readers make more informed decisions when doing anything from choosing a restaurant to selecting an auto repair shop or from finding an affordable ceiling fan to getting a tattoo.

Here's where you come in.
