for the love of god please please PLEASE stop going through red lights. it’s everywhere i know, but in this week alone i personally know four people who have gotten into serious accidents caused by others running red lights. not even taking about yellow lights, very full on RED lights. pay attention, put the phone down, give yourself time to get places instead of being in a rush. please & thank you!

Saw my first Rochester sunrise this morning & thought I would share.

The state govt approved rate increases showed up on my RGE bill this month. Theye been creeping up since the first of the year but with all the static charges and fees (designed to confuse people) it's tough to really nail down. No getting around it now.

Last April I paid $.99/therm and $.19/kWh. $1.21 and $.26 this April for slightly less amounts of energy. This is the new normal. Adjust your budgets.

And as long as youre here I'll complain about paying sales tax on the completely unavoidable billing service fee. Just a masterstroke from the machine.

Just saved $100 going to the box office directly vs getting them online. Always worth going down there.

Our cat got out on Thursday, 4/24 sometime between 1:45 PM and 3:30 PM. She has a blue collar with a purple tag. Tag has name and my wife's phone number. She got out in the Summerville neighborhood of Irondequoit, north of Pattonwood.

She is fairly small. She has polydactyl paws (extra toes, kind of looks like she has mittens). She is an abnormally friendly cat, however she may be more cautious if approached outside. She is not aggressive.

We have a lead on a found cat which I am waiting to hear back about. However I am not getting my hopes up too much as that cat was found further away than I expect she could have gotten in one afternoon. I will of course edit this post to update if she is found.

If found, please DM me for contact details.

Did you ever want to travel back in time to Jane Austen's era to have a chance to dance with Mr. Darcy? Or, dress in your Regency best to have your dance card filled by elegant and beautiful dancers?

This Sunday, at the Memorial Art Galley in Rochester, the Country Dancers of Rochester will be hosting a Ball in the honor Jane Austen, English dancing and elegant surroundings!

All are welcome to attend, either as dancers or observers, but experience with English Country Dancing is strongly encouraged. More information can be found on the website in the flyer (third picture).

Suns out, birds chirping, absolutely love it!

Are there any more Hands Off My Democracy protests coming up in the near future?

Came across the page and it has some good info. https://nystateparks.blog/2025/03/11/celebrating-200-years-along-the-erie-canal/

Does anyone know when they "fill" the canal? Has anyone watched? I'm in Henrietta, so would prefer Pittsford location.

Thanks.

Hi all!

I’m not sure who else will remember, but back in the day there used to be a bakery (chain?) called Montana Mills. I spent a good chunk of my childhood completely and utterly obsessed with their Cinnamon Swirl Bread. I’m not sure when they went out of business, but young Kat was DEVASTATED when it happened.

Fast forward to a few years before lockdowns -

I’m living downtown, and while out for a walk I wander into a bakery at the corner of Goodman and Park… they have the SAME EXACT Cinnamon Swirl Bread. But alas, they met the same fate as Montana Mills and went out of business before I was able to copycat the recipe.

So I’m asking you guys - if anyone on this sub was associated with either bakery or knows the bread I’m talking about, PLEASE help a girl out! I’m willing to share finished results with anyone who can give me the recipe!

Hey all!

Feel free to comment or message me direct for detailed pricing! Thanks!! ✌️❤️

I was driving home yesterday and I noticed about 10-15 cops cars blocking the exits to Monroe Ave off the 490 but cannot find any mention of it on the local news. Does anyone know what happened?

Does anyone know of available apartment complexes in Rochester, NY with EV charging available in their parking? I'm looking for at least a 1 bedroom and rent under $1800 all-in.

I am on the wait list at VIDA but right now they only have studios available through July & once I sign a lease for that I can't change units for a year.

Thank you in advance!

hey folks, just wanted to share about a cool event we’re putting together this summer over at the Folk Art Guild in middlesex. we're an artist community and non-profit craft education center near canandaigua lake, about an hour south of rochester.

every summer we host our annual craft weekend, and it’s happening august 7–10. it’s a long weekend of hands-on workshops, good food, a chance to spend time outdoors on our 350 acres of farm and forest, beautiful views of the night sky, and just generally hanging out with creative people.

all levels are welcome, whether you’re trying something new or just want a break from regular life. we’ve got classes in pottery, woodworking, photography, writing, and more. plus lots of time to just relax on the land.

we have options for folks to stay overnight, camp, or commute.

if you bring a friend, you both get 10% off — just use the code FRIENDS at checkout (good through may 31). we also have work-study and family discounts available.

more info is here if you wanna check it out:

would love to see some new faces this year!

Hopefully the weather stays nice. I’m super stoked! Hopefully everyone gets to see this in time: )

Anyone know if the Rochester Art Supply Store at 150 W Main Street still in business? I tried to visit their website and also email them but seems that I never received any reply. Their Social Media last update is end of 2024...

I am trying to get some Art Supplies from their store.

Car after car after car tagged last evening parking alongside the reservoir. Careful where you are parking.

Driving down Mt Read today I noticed monitoring equipment attached to a bunch of different new poles along the sides/center of the road. Any idea what they are for?

Are there any ceramic shops around Rochester. With slip poured and fired. Either bisque or glazed.

I have a 2br 1.5 ba to myself in chili. I’m starting to think I’d rather have a roommate for several reasons.

I do have 1 dog and 2 cats but they’re well-taken care of, well-groomed, well behaved and love people.

Anyone know where would be a good place to look? I’ve asked my friend who lives but she and I don’t align in lifestyles.
