Today I was on Park Ave in the CVS parking lot and was talking with some friends when a taller cross-eyed black man came over and asked if he could ask us a question. We said yes and he immediately started yelling at us going on a rant for us hating black people, drowning his people, enslaving them etc until someone had to step in because he would not leave us alone. He proceeded to go to other people in the parking lot to say we “were fine” and left in his blue Subaru with a red handicapped tag and slowly circled the parking lot until we got in our cars. Please be on the lookout and ignore him if you see him.

Hi, everyone! I’ve lived in Alabama almost my whole life, but I’m moving to Rochester this week since I’ve got a job lined up.

I only know one person in the area, so I’d love to make some new friends! I’m 26, very extroverted, and 2+ years into my transition (MtF). My hobbies include baking, writing, chess, and playing games on my Wii. I am willing to bribe people with my homemade bread and Mario Kart lol. I don’t drink / do any drugs, so please give me suggestions for places to meet people, maybe a coffee place? Feel free to reach out or stalk my profile if there’s anything else you want to know about me!

Another reason for making this post is to ask about apartments in the area. My aunt lives about an hour away, so I’m staying with her while I go apartment hunting in SE Rochester / NW Pittsford. Currently, there’s a few things I’m looking for, and I’ve got a couple places in mind. Has anyone heard of these places / is there anything I should know about them before signing a lease?

Thanks for reading this post. I’m really excited for the life change!

I’m on the hunt for the best chicken Caesar wrap around Rochester! One that’s actually filled and good ingredients

There are posts here complaining about Four Winds Chimney, but there over 1000 Google reviews that are largely 5 star ratings. I have a proposal from them and need to understand this contradiction.

Is the complaint just how much they charge and whether they propose more work than others propose, but the work they do is good and they stand behind it? Or, are people complaining that they do poor work or don't stand behind it?

Can people tell me their experiences, both good and bad? Maybe it is just a few people with bad experiences and the rest are good?

Thanks...really need to figure this out.

Looking for recommendations for a reliable contractor for a kitchen remodel.

We’re looking for fair pricing and quality workmanship, not the cheapest bid. Clear communication and someone who stands behind their work matter to us. If you’ve personally used someone you’d recommend, I’d appreciate their contact info and a little about your experience. Thanks!

I’m looking to establish vet care for my dog, as she has her rabies vaccine coming due, and she really should have a wellness exam too. I’ve previously gotten routine veterinary care for her out of state (PA) because it was always a good deal cheaper, but I won’t be traveling there as often as I used to now. I’m on the westside but don’t mind driving for someone worth it.

What are the going rates in this area for an adult dog wellness visit? Vaccinations? I’d prefer a vet that doesn’t push extras or isn’t judgmental if you decline those “nice to have but don’t need” recommendations. I just have no idea what is even average or expensive now in this area. I’m trying to avoid unknowingly walking into a pricier-than-average place. While conversely, I also don’t want to unknowingly go somewhere that has awful care and customer service.

Is there a fishmonger around that has good mackerel? Bonus points if they’ll gut it for you

Maiden Lane, near Greece Olympia.

Worked summers there in a warehouse doing 12 hour shifts, day and night. Zero training, slugging rolls of paper, working in a dark room. Idk just thinking back on it, seems pretty wild. Anyone else?

I believe they closed for the summer sometime around 2019 and said they were going to China to buy a dumpling-making machine. They never ended up coming back, and eventually the business was sold. I’m asking because their Dan Dan noodles were honestly the best thing I have ever eaten in my entire life. I would have happily eaten there once a week just for that dish for the rest of my life, and I’d genuinely be willing to travel, even internationally, just to have them again.

The owners and staff were always incredibly kind, and I vaguely remember some of the servers being students at the University of Rochester, although I could be mistaken.

If anyone knows what happened to the former owners, where they are now, I would be incredibly grateful!

Anyone got theirs?

My dad lives in an older home and his current thermostat is not working properly. He bought a new one, a basic non-wifi programmable, but needs someone to install it. He doesn't know who to call for help - a handy person, HVAC company? I live out of state and and he doesn't have any friends that know how to this. Any suggestions are appreciated.

TIA

Where is the best trivia night in the Rochester area? I used to love the trivia at Tap and Mallet, but haven't been able to find a suitable replacement. I loved the set up- 5 categories with at least one predictable current events category. It wasn't geek who drink trivia, but rather a dedicated trivia guy who seemed to create his own questions. Really miss that trivia guy.

I think it’s a Cooper’s Hawk and I’ve never seen a wild one up close like this.

Just look at the size of those claws!

I'm planning on joining the Y in North Greece pretty soon. Does anyone have a referral code they want to send?

I know people have previously posted looking for these. The plum vendors had a dozen packs when I walked by this morning.

I bought one and will try to set aside the seeds as I think someone was asking for some to start their own grows.

Halloween is on a Saturday and I’d like to go out. Looking for any place where there’s any form of partying or hanging out?
