For all of the putrid haters here, I’m just resharing what was posted here last year albeit minus all of the hate it generated this time.

Thought it was a sign for a missing person but nope. Yikes

Still in shock this just happened 😆

Grew up going to this theater, makes me kinda sad to see it still sitting abandoned. Maybe if they had put in recliners like Eastview it would’ve survived. Odds are probably low another theater chain will buy it and flip it? What do you think will happen to it?

I need to open a checking account and looking for recommendations or places to avoid.

Hi everyone. Anyone know any good organizations to volunteer at through the winter / colder weather? Thanks!

Hi all - we are having a Voice the Constitution event on November 7 at 11 am at the Mendon Public Library, 22 N Main St, Honeoye.

As always, everyone who comes can participate or just listen, depending upon your preference. We read the U.S. Constitution outloud to one another. It takes about an hour to read it straight through, but we pause for questions, definitions and interesting facts.

Hope to see you there! Call or go on the library website to let them know you will be there.
(585) 624-6067 or https://mendonlibrary.org/

Hey, I'm looking to make some friends and I can't seem to find a club or group that I like. I tried Meet Up too... I like visual arts, spooky stuff, bugs, philosophy, coffee/tea, activism, fun facts, board games/cards. The problem is that most of this is in large groups and I get nervous. Any tips or ideas? Clubs that I might like? TIA

I never thought I’d be posting on an forum for help.

I’m a single parent of two. We have fallen on hard times. Bills are paid thankfully. But we are scraping by when it comes to food. I went to two food pantries two weeks ago and that didn’t last us very long.

I’m looking to see if anyone has any additional resources or even any food that they don’t plan on eating if they could drop off to us a Walmart order anything we are struggling bad right now and I know I’m not the only person on earth struggling but I figured I’d reach out here for some help.

Thank you.

I am looking for someone in Rochester who can sew a regular shower curtain into a custom shower curtain for me. My shower has two angled slopes and I essentially need someone with sewing skills greater than mine to cut off the corners of a curtain I bought and sew them on angles evenly. I have a prototype I made myself, but it’s not pretty. Is there a shop or a seamstress in Rochester who could do this? It’s probably a 30 min job for someone skilled.

Hello everyone.

Just like the title says, I am posting this post to ask if anyone has any recommendations for any dental practices that accept Delta Dental insurance. I was previously being seen at a practice that accepted me in network with my previous insurance through Excellus, but with the new plan, I am out of network though still accepted. I realize they do have a website that tells me what clinics/providers accept them, but I would appreciate if anyone has had any experience with clinics that they are willing to share just so I don’t go based blindly on reviews.

I am honestly looking for caring providers who don’t rush the job and don’t work too rough. I have had bad experiences in the past back home which made me put off going to the dentist for regular check ups and routine work for a decent while. My partner also has not been in a while and would probably need some repair work done to fix old crowns along with other dental work, but is less willing to go because of bad experience as well, so I want him to feel comfortable to go and get seen.

I don’t really care for the distance, we both have cars. Maybe some extended hours just as he works Monday through Friday 8-5.

TLDR: looking for a new dental provider, accepting new clients that are in network with Delta Dental. Plus if they got extended hours. Bad experiences in the past, looking for recs.

Thank you all, have a nice one!

I need to remember the unfathomable scale of the universe. I haven’t had many chances to see many stars since moving to New York. What are the best places to see many stars near the city? Thank you

If you're downtown, early voting site at the Staybridge Suites is right on the 16 bus line which runs every 15 minutes! Just voted and was in and out quickly. Only had to wait 5 minutes for the bus home.

My friend’s child is autistic and has really benefitted from music therapy previously. Unfortunately, his school no longer offers it.

Do college students going for music therapy need any sort of clinical hours with real students? Maybe I’m not using the exact correct term here. Where could I look into this further?

Thank you!

Why is it all of a sudden everyone is driving with high beams on. And yes, I know lights are brighter on newer cars, but I shouldn't see someone's front door with your car lights. If they go wider than the road or the little blue light on your dash is on, your high beams are on. And they are only necessary in the country where there are no street lights!!! And out of common courtesy, you should turn them off briefly when a car is coming in the opposite direction.

Let's just normalize driving etiquette again. 😁

Thats is all. Thanks

Hey all, I go to RIT and regularly fish for salmon and steelhead below Lower Falls. It's such a beautiful place in the heart of Rochester, but the trash is really bad. Is there any way to organize a clean-up? Just curious, want to do my part to make Rochester a little nicer.

Hi! Looking for the best Chinese food in the Park/East/Monroe area. Never had Chinese in this area and I am looking to try some tn! Please drop your recommendations ⬇️ Thanks!!!

Speakers at an event in Rochester included Sarahana Shrestha, a state Assemblywoman who has sponsored a bill that would let the state purchase the Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corp.

I’m not trying to upset anyone, I realize that there is a large population of people who need help and resources. My concern here is that everyday I pass several panhandlers on University Ave between winton and East Ave and they are getting very aggressive. Shouting and shaking their fists at motorists, approaching windows and getting in people’s faces, weaving through cars and blocking traffic. It isn’t all of them but it is nearly everyday common. Is this happening everywhere or is this somewhat isolated to the few individuals I see everyday?

Last month I posted about weekend street racing in Greece and said I’d filed a FOIL request for the department’s enforcement records. The response came back, and here’s what it shows.

Street racing tickets

Greece PD has written one ticket for speed contests and races (VTL 1182) since January 2024. That was in November 2024. There were none in 2025 and none in 2026 through October 3.

Plans or programs aimed at racing

I asked for any directives, operational plans, special details, or grant applications or awards (including S.T.E.P.) related to street racing, speed contests, or loud vehicles. The department’s written response: “The Department has no records responsive to your request... No such documents exist.”

Muffler and exhaust tickets

Tickets under VTL 375(31) went from 13 in 2024 to 63 in 2025, with 49 in 2026 through October 3. These actually increased.

Calls for service

I asked for racing and noise calls by month. The department said the request was too broad because those calls are logged under general codes like “annoyance” or “miscellaneous,” and invited me to narrow it. I've spent enough time on this, but someone should feel free to file a new request if interested.

Thoughts

Greece PD has the staff, technology and budget to address this, and it has done targeted enforcement before, most recently against car thefts. On street racing, the records show no plan, no dedicated detail, no grant and one ticket in nearly three years. I guess the place to raise it is with the Town Board at the 2027 budget hearing.
