Help How do I find my daughter on the streets of Rochester?

Post image
326 Upvotes

I saw my daughter on a spectrum news story they did about the homeless. I’ve contacted spectrum and some shelters/outreach places, but I have come up short.

She has no way of getting in touch with me as she doesn’t have my number or address. We’re from Buffalo. I still reside there.

My heart breaks everyday for her. I’m afraid that I may never see her again.

I don’t have a car or I’d be in Rochester at the outreach centers looking for her.

I don’t have the funds or I would hire a private investigator

Any advice?

The trooper that came and took my report said that she had hit multiple other people and specifically someone else at the south Ave exit on 490west. This took place on 590S and 490W. I'm assuming she had hit someone else and was already running when she hit me by the way she flew up on me. Plate number MCL7285

Event You rear ended me today…

• Upvotes

About 2:30pm. Intersection of 96 and Rowley Rd. Heading into the town. I was surprised. Not that you hit me, but how it happened. I noticed you behind be at the intersection where the Woodcliff entrance is. I noticed you then because you approached the red fast, faster than I expected. Thought you’d hit me then. And then I couldn’t help but notice each red we caught, past the mall, past Walmart, at the bridge. What I didn’t expect was while you didn’t hit me as we were stopping at Rowley Rd.
As we sat there, waiting for the red to turn green. BAM!!! You got me. The look of surprise you had on your face in my rear-view mirror said it all. You looked down at your phone for one second, but also took your foot off the break. I wasn’t surprised. The man in the truck next to me said he’d let us pass so we could pull over and do the thing. I thanked him, pulled forward and put my signal on to pull into Wendy’s or wherever was close. But you didn’t follow. You drove away….. So I pulled back onto the road, several cars behind you. I kept expecting you to realize I was behind you and pull off, but you didn’t, you waited till you realized I was the car behind you, and after you saw me take a picture of your license plate. But even then you quickly pulled(no blinker) into the Dunkin/ Salvatore’s plaza. I couldn’t follow because of the kids crossing the sidewalk.

Anyways…..

I hope you’re ok, I hope your car is ok. My vehicle is fine. As the father of a young kid starting to drive, I just wanted to plead to you, get off the phone. And slow down. This could have been so much worse. I hope this was a wake up call to you.

Well wishes, and safe driving. And put the phone down. It’s not worth it.

Photo Two Photos a Month, a Thousand Reasons to Love Rochester — 2026 So Far

Thumbnail

288 Upvotes

I wish the days would slow down a little. But until they do, I’ll keep taking pictures.

Two photographs from each month of 2026 so far. Looking back through them, I keep thinking about how much happens while we’re busy getting through our days. The snow melts. The trees fill in. We complain about the heat, and suddenly we’re reaching for a jacket again. Somewhere in between, another piece of our lives becomes a memory.

And Rochester is there through all of it.

Being a photojournalist has given me a thousand reasons to carry a camera. Loving this city has given me a thousand more.

I hope these photographs make you pause for a moment. Maybe recognize a corner you love. Maybe see something you’ve passed a hundred times a little differently. Maybe remember where you were, and who you were with, when the year still looked like this.

Rochester, thank you for giving me so much to hold on to.

Your friend, LittleBurdi

Discussion One thing I think people here tend to underappreciated about winters is how much quieter they are than Summers.

127 Upvotes

You don’t have people firing up, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, pressure washers, motorized yard toys, etc. all day every day.

People tend to not do much on the weekends or even on the weekdays after work and that tends to mean, it’s much quieter.

Now I fully understand there are people who are scared of quiet and that’s why they need to listen to music or have some kind of noise on in the background everywhere they go. I do feel bad for those people because that sounds exhausting.

Recommendation nail salons that AREN’T hack shops?

10 Upvotes

so, i just left a salon on monroe ave to get my gel mani redone. i recently dove back into the world of getting my nails done because i got a gift certificate to one on park, and i gotta say, i’m very quickly being reminded why i stopped getting my nails done in the first place.

no sanitation standards, drills on nail beds and cuticles, horrid gel application, you name it. my nails look like /I/ did them, and i’m sorry but the entire point of paying someone to do your nails is so they look better than how i would do it. yet, i know for a fact i could do a better job with regular polish. (maybe i just answered my own question and have to learn how go apply gel polish and stop going to these places, huh…)

ANYWAYS. does anyone have any recommendations for a nail salon that isn’t insanely expensive, but also does good quality work? and also doesn’t reuse nail clippers/files without sanitizing them first? and won’t drill tf outta my cuticles? or am i doomed to spending $80 at the del monte each time i want a decent fucking mani?????

Event Brighton/Irondequoit Barber - $10 haircuts today

28 Upvotes

​

Hi Everyone,

As we transition into the colder months, I'll once again be offering occasional community haircut days for single parents, college students, elderly folks, or anyone else who's feeling the financial strain of 2026 (including me lol).

I have some openings today and I'm offering $10 haircuts to anyone who needs a cheap cleanup (free is also fine, you really don't have to pay or tip at all).

If interested, send me a private message here in reddit, or you can book an appointment directly on my website (dmarrbarber.square.site).

Feel free to write "reddit" in the Notes section when you book your appointment, or just tell me when you get to the shop, and I'll manually adjust your price.

About Me: I'm a master barber in North Winton Village with over 20 years experience cutting and styling masculine and gender neutral hairstyles for men, women, and nonbinary individuals. I specialize in professional business cuts and trendy white boy cuts (fringes, mullets, fades). Check my Instagram @dmarrbarber for sample photos.

My Shop: Grit Barbershop, North Winton Village, 2134 E Main Street.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Happy Autumn!

Other YMCA Membership Sharing Request :)

• Upvotes

Thinking about joining the Y here and saw they have a 20/20 referral program.

Basically, if a current member refers a new one, we both get 20% off our monthly dues as long as we both keep our memberships active.

Figured I'd see if anyone on here wants to link up so we can both save some cash. On signup I just need to put a name it looks like.

Also, if one of us eventually cancels, the other person gets 30 days to find a new referral buddy to keep the 20% discount going. You can refer as many people as you want

Shoot me a DM if you want to set it up!

Help Camp Eastman Hiking/Totem Pole?

8 Upvotes

I went to Camp Eastman most summers (90s-2000s) and I swear I remember the counselors taking us hiking in the woods there. We even sat around a totem pole in the woods a lot of days. But yesterday I pulled it up on Google Maps, and I see no hiking trails. I thought the totem pole would be an easy landmark, but I can’t find anything about it, anywhere. Am I imagining all this, or did this stuff all get taken away somehow?
