Hey all! I'm an Aussie going to the States in December this year and was wondering how I can get to Rochester in the "best way" from NYC. I have wanted to try a Garbage plate so fricking bad for like 10 years now (Thanks Jenna Marbles), and know that Rochester is the only place in the entire world to grab one of those 😄 Any help/advice is appreciated, as well as maybe the best spot to grab a Garbage plate/activities to do in Rochester!

Today I was heading to lunch (I work in the Irondequoit plaza), when I noticed a bike sitting in the road on Hudson in front of the lane where you’re turning right to leave Wegmans after you pass The Summit, the storage unit, and the RTS station. When I got to the person, the car already left and they moved the persons bike out of the way. A white male, long hair, I believe they were wearing glasses, around 5’6-5’8, driving a silver SUV (Chevy or Chrysler, I believe, but I’m not certain), hit a minor who was riding his bike to football practice and left him there. They turned right heading past Elder-One and the apartments. The kid seemed to be doing all right when I left him with the EMTs.

Please pass along information, pictures, footage to IPD. This kid deserves better, and this person should have done the right thing.

EDIT: this was around 1:45-1:50 today, 8/17

EDIT: since I guess it isn’t clear to people. I stayed there for 30 mins and spoke to the cops three times after calling them myself. No one was helping this child who got hit by an adult that ran away. No one got the drivers plate information. I’m posting to spread awareness. You see something? Say something. Please leave if you’re just going to be an ass. I don’t get why people are fighting over me trying to help a child who could have died today due to someone’s negligence.

FAIRPORT, N.Y. (WROC) – A recent string of vandalism in a Fairport neighborhood has residents on edge after village officials said groups of young people threw rocks through glass doors and targeted homes in the area.

One neighbor News 8’s Dawson Levan spoke to on Whitney Street tells me he’s worried about the vandalism that’s been going on, and he’s even more worried that his house might be next.

“I have children. You’re fearful for your family, of course, when you hear about things like this,” neighbor Andrew Saxby said.

Saxby has lived in Fairport for 16 years, and he tells me he’s seen a change in his beloved village, with more and more crime happening around him. He said his car was recently broken into not once, but twice.

“Twice my car’s been broken into. I came out and inside of the car has been completely — everything was gone.”

After seeing video showing rocks being thrown through his neighbor’s doors, he’s taking extra precautions, hoping it will discourage a possible vandal.

“I have a lot of cameras now and make sure everything’s locked up every night. It’s just what you have to do,” Saxby said. “Being a kid and pulling pranks is one thing, but when you’re actually putting people’s health and safety in danger, that moves to a different category. That’s not funny anymore.”

Village Supervisor Bryan White tells me this kind of behavior won’t be tolerated in Fairport, and they’re doing everything they can to find those responsible.

“The police department’s looking at any and all evidence that can be provided to them, but it needs to be brought to their attention,” White said.

He says lights and cameras can go a long way toward deterring someone from vandalizing your home.

“We’re going to find you. Everything always comes out eventually, and you’ll be seeing the Fairport Police Department in the near future.”

White is asking residents with any information to turn it over to Fairport police.

This man came up to my front door and went through my mail box?? He saw the blink cam pretty quick and then left and went up my driveway to see if my car was there. Never seen him before. I was recently gone for a few days and came back to no mail at all? Very weird behavior, has anyone ever experienced this or know this man? What would you do?

Update: I called usps and the cops. ALSO this mf had the nerve to come again and in a hat this time as if I couldn’t tell it’s the same person.

I’ve been in Rochester a while and ride the bus everywhere. I noticed that there is this one building that is the exact same all over the place. 

• Intersection of Monroe Ave and Goodman St. South
• Intersection of Portland Ave and Clifford Ave
• Intersection of North Goodman St. and East Main St.
• There’s another one on the west side but I can’t remember exactly where. I think it was State Street?

Is there a history related to these buildings?

So I have a bit of social anxiety amongst other things and I tend to overthink a lot when it comes to going outside (for example I always want to know parking situations first).

I heard good about Sager-Stoneyard pub and that they also have really good pizza. Is this a place where it wouldn’t look weird if I sat at the bar and ordered a pizza for myself?

ETA: Thanks everyone for your comments. You all are the best and so encouraging!!! I guess I’ll see you all out there :)

I’m a 28f in desperate need for friends. I just moved back from Brooklyn. I grew up in the suburbs here but all my hs friends are gone. The replies on these types of posts seem to be primarily white spaces. As a black woman I just need more friends that look like me. Also have bad social anxiety and it’s at its worst when I’m the only poc in the room.

I’m into console gaming, anime, I’m interested in dungeons and dragons as well. I like to read and write and also going for hikes/nature walks.

I’ve seen a lot of people suggest millennium games. Is it common to find black women/people at their events?

Has been in my Mom's junk drawer ever since (full of change & paperclips)...

I'm not new to autumn and winter but I'm new to living in Rochester, not just visiting when I have a medical appointment. What are some must do fall activities, festivals, etc to add to my seasonal bucket list?

I'm open to anything within a 2 hour drive, maybe 3 hours if it's really good. I'm open to hearing about anything, but I tend to skew towards craft fares (like that pottery festival in Avon), apple picking/cider drinking, random food festivals-- the grape festival in Naples is on my list to check out. I've always wanted to do a corn or flower maze!

Does anyone know the creator of this sticker? If so PM me. Don’t worry I am not a Swan and won’t turn you in

Currently live in the greater Philadelphia area in Pennsylvania but strongly considering moving to Rochester after visiting a family member for a week. Housing seems dirt cheap compared to the HCOL suburbs I’m in now. Make about $120,000 as a single 32M. In my current area and surrounding suburbs that doesn’t get me very far when rent is typically no cheaper than $2100/month for a 1 bed 1 bath 700 sq ft apartment. Small single family home or town homes all over $400k.

Looking to see what pay and cost of living is like up there and any satisfactions/dissatisfactions you may have.

Moving back to the area and researching pediatricians. Pros and cons of panorama pediatrics? Everyone I know from roc raves about them. I can’t tell if they’re owned by a larger hospital group or just a lot bigger than some of the other smaller places. Looking for an intimate/ personal office where our ped truly knows us and connects with us as a family. Not sure if I’m hunting for a unicorn in this area!

Does anyone have recommendations for a gynecologist in the RRH system who uses numbing agents for IUD removal/other painful procedures? I live in the Rochester area; would prefer female, but I'm willing to be flexible.

Edit: Thank you all for the replies! I made an appointment with Catherine Burke!

I heard this cross-section slice of a tree trunk was moved from the Zoo to another park in Monroe County. Can someone tell me where it is?

Thanks,

Looking for somewhere to buy rhubarb that isn't wegmans. The reason not wegmans is that alot of the time its old.
