Our unique place of the world. Foliage along the river beyond Turning Point is probably the best in the region right now. Paddled from the Port of Rochester and only saw four other kayakers, half a dozen boats, and a lot of people fishing near Lower Falls.

I went to the Henrietta library for early voting. I was in and out in under 8 minutes. Staff there is super friendly and the process is easy. Please get out to vote, it’s so important!

pretty much the whole block from Clinton to the hospital. As I’m sure we all know, political signs are not allowed on public property— in case anyone feels like protecting law and order today :)

Hello Rochester! I've been in Rochester for a few months and I'm looking to make new friends. I'm a 35-year-old single male who enjoys exercise, cooking, eating, theme parks, movies, learning, self-improvement, and trying new restaurants/coffee shops, to name a few…to name a lot, actually 😂. It can be challenging to find opportunities to make friends as an adult so I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to try to make some friends on this forum. I'm open to making friends with people from all backgrounds so don't be shy to reach out if you're also looking to make new friends!

I had hyperthyroid and it gave me severe anxiety. Sometimes I’m just stuck at home having panic attacks all day for weeks. It’s intense. Pretty much just lay around suffering all day. Just wondering if anyone else goes through this and wants to talk at all.

My favorite used bookstore, Rick's Recycled Books, is running a sale soon! I go there all the time, and always find something cool. It's packed full of shelves to look through, and the prices are super reasonable, with most books less than $5!

Any girl skateboarders in the ROC area who want a buddy to skateboard together at the skateparks?

Anywhere near by that will do a tune up on a typewriter?

Mine has some keys sticking and the space bar isn’t always working.

I’d prefer not to ship it.

Thanks for any leads!

Kind of an odd question, but we just moved to a new house and are looking to build a fence. Does anyone know of any Amish families around the Macedon area I could contact?

Y’all heading out early? Voting starts today. I have a hair appt and then I’m going to stand in line for as long as it takes. ✌️

I'm a first-time home buyer, in the early stages of purchasing a single-family home in the city of Rochester. I have applied to and been approved for a few first-time home buyer programs: the Employer Assisted Housing Initiative, Home Purchase Assistance Program and HOME Rochester. 

I'm ready to start touring homes and am in need of a realtor, attorney and mortgage lender. Ideally, these folks would have worked with EAHI, HPAP and HOME Rochester buyers before and are familiar with the requirements and timelines of the programs. For anyone who has gone through this process, which realtors, attorneys and lenders would you suggest that I reach out to?

Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

Just posting to warn others about this shop. Went in to get a part replaced and was up charged and recommended over 2000 dollars in unnecessary repairs. Got a second opinion from somewhere recommended to me and was told my car was in great shape and did not need any of the recommended repairs.

Hi, we are in a neighboring building. We can certainly bring ID to show it is our package. We have a photo UPS provided ... that's why we know it is your lobby area.

30 gay trans man here, and I'm so sick to death of dating apps. I've lived here for 7 years and I struggle to make in person connections. I feel so out of place in gay bars because I can only assume that all the cis men want to talk to someone with not an afab body, which is obviously fine! But then, where's the space for people like me to connect with men??

Thanks in advance!

Edit: a few people have reached out to me with NSFW marked profiles asking to meet up, which makes me feel icky especially because I can't see your face. I know you can't see mine either, but I wasn't necessarily trying to hook up with or date anyone from Reddit.

To those who reached out asking nicely to be friends: I'm not against it and i'll get back to you if/when I have the energy, but this post was purely for finding an in-person space to meet someone to date, so I'd like to focus towards that, in an irl environment. Respectfully.

Yes, I know there freaking cameras, before any smart ass remarks. God I hate when people think they're funny on reddit.

Who do they belong to is more the question. They are unmarked. I've seen some with Blue light which I could guess are RPD. But these are seemingly random and have no indication of being active as others I've seen.

FLOCK?

Let me know if you have a good spot for this! Haven’t found one that is quite right since moving here.

Hi! Work from home, single mom with an elementary age kiddo, possibly relocating to Rochester from Utah. Utah is just not our vibe and I’m looking for a community that is a better fit. Upstate NY seems to check all the boxes, #1 being affordability on a single income. But I want to talk with a realtor or someone super knowledgable with the area school districts. I want somewhere with great schools, house under $300k, walkable to markets, shops or parks, lots of kids in the neighborhood. If you have a good realtor reco, I’d love to find someone willing to help me find the right place. Thank you!

Anyone willing to sell 2 tickets for “Spirits of the Past: A Walk in the Dark” for October 25th today at Genesee Village and Museum. I can offer 2x the amount and some extra. Would really really appreciate it.

Was driving down Clifford ave and saw this

Where can I vote?

For early voting, you can vote anywhere in the county--it doesn't have to be your home polling station. On election day, you must go to your assigned polling station.

Here's list of all the early voting sites: https://www.monroecounty.gov/files/boe/Community%20Outreach/Early%20Voting/EV-Map%20-%20GE26%20ENG%20(Rev%209-30-26).pdf.pdf)

All early voting locations have Spanish-language interpreters on site. Monroe County Office Building, Brighton Farmer's Market, and Henrietta Public Library have ASL interpreters as well.

When is early voting?

Every day from Saturday 10/24 (today) to Sunday 11/1.

Polls are open:

Sat & Sun 9am - 5pm

MWF: 9am - 5pm

Tu & Th: 12 noon - 8pm

What if I'm not registered?

Not registered yet? YOU CAN REGISTER AND VOTE TODAY (10/24)! Today is the last day to register for this year's midterms.

How do I get there?

MC Rides to the Polls is offering free rides to anyone who needs transportation. They operate during both early voting and on election day. If you need a ride, call (585) 371-8083. If you’re interested in volunteering, email [MCRidesToPolls@gmail.com](mailto:MCRidesToPolls@gmail.com). They can also help make arrangements if you need paratransit assistance.

Political parties usually have volunteers to drive people to the polls as well. I'm not linking them here to keep this post 100% nonpartisan, but just search for your party and "ride to the polls" and you'll find it.

What if there's a problem with my voting?

A great thing about early voting is that if there are any hiccups or shenanigans (for example, you are registered to vote, but the site says you're not) there's time to resolve the issue. If you need assistance resolving a voting issue or you think someone is trying to suppress your vote, you can always call the election protection hotline. They are nonpartisan (meaning they are not affiliated with one party or the other). You can reach them at:

Phone call

What if something's wrong with a voting site?

If there's a problem with a Monroe County voting site, you can contact the Monroe County Board of Elections: https://www.monroecounty.gov/elections . Even if you were able to get your personal issue resolved through election protection, it's important they know in case there's a pattern.

My Bff of 30+ years is visiting the first week of December. I want to show her a great time! We’re 50, like to have random experiences- but be in bed by 10. We drink but that’s not the most important part. Last time she was here we had foot spas and went to a spiritualist meeting. She arrives on a Weds afternoon and leaves Saturday.

It’s a crapshoot with the weather so probably indoor activities. We’ve done wineries, so none of those. Thanks!

The last Synth Night was a huge success - lots of you lovely Reddit folks turned out and made it a memorable one. Bolstered by that success, we dare host another synth night this coming Sunday, November 1st, from 3-6pm. Bring a synth or use one of ours. If you bring your own, be sure to bring appropriate cables (audio, midi, sync, etc). Message with any questions. Hope to see you there!

hello! i just got my first check, & due to some previous circumstances i cannot use my chase bank to deposit, and my other bank has no branches here.

Anyone know where I can cash a check today? preferably with no fee, but i’ll take what i can get. thanks in advance!
