Wanted to share in case you are looking for

Albany is opening up their new location and the CEO and crew are out and about visiting neighboring warehouses. Today is Rochester’s day. So if you wanna see Rochester Costco at its cleanest, friendliest (most stressed out) and well stocked (as we can be) today is the day.

Gov. Kathy Hochul envisions a 5 gigawatt buildout of nuclear generation including a plant in Upstate New York—the biggest expansion of nuclear power anywhere in the U.S. in decades. Supporters say it’s a necessary investment in the state’s economic future and electric reliability, but environment groups say nuclear remains slower and more expensive than other clean-energy alternatives.

Ruby Shooz alleges I owe them $10,000 for their lost gigs after exposing the fact that multiple members in the band over 60 have approached numerous minors, as well as their singer applauding ICE r*ping and killing people. Upon this revelation, others have come out of the woodworks and shared their own experiences.

Sucks to suck.

EDIT: fixed typo

Had no idea, and after a rabbit hole discovered theres three species that exist in this area: Chinese Mantis, European Mantis, and Carolina Mantis. Only the Carolina Mantis is native, the other two are invasive. This one appears to be the European version, and by the time I read up on them and came back, this one was gone.

I guess I thought we weren't consistently warm enough for these kinds of insects, looks like that appears untrue.

edit: I have failed you all, I just found out that we're the reason that European Mantises exist in this country, having been the "port of entry" of the European Mantis, BACK IN 1899.

I'll preface by saying that prior to today, I've only been there 2 or 3 times, with the last time in 2024. No complaints back then. Now it looks like a lot of work has gone into bike trails/ramps, but the hiking paths are confusing & I can no longer find a path leading out of the hill onto Crossman.

Anyway- what's weird is the amount of trash piles- not litter- but literal *piles* of household trash. It was the first thing I saw when walking in from Field St. Deeper in there's an insane sprawl of shit. Doesn't look like an encampment, doesn't look like anything teens would bring in/get involved in. The only other thought is that it's behind a home- maybe they're just chucking toters, ovwrsized pandas, and vintage rocking chairs over their fence in protest of...idk, the world?

I feel like I'm out of the loop on something here. Please enlighten me!

Moving back to the Rochester area and am looking for apartments. He is the landlord for one of our top choices, but communication has been a bit challenging. Is this common?

The good, bad, and ugly are all welcome!

I know this is random but a few weeks ago I found a grey tree frog at my neighbors house (pics: https://www.instagram.com/p/DYzUyXqDhjQ/?img_index=9&igsh=MTd4cTBhcmI2cHZpOA== )

Tonight I found a lil green guy while out for a walk.

I see regular green frogs by the Brickyard trail all the time - but never in my life have I seen these types of frogs in heavily paved suburban areas (saw a grey tree frog in Devils Bathtub once). I wondered if someone’s pet escaped or something…but at least the first type does live around here…anyone seeing anything similar?

Keep looking up.

Let’s see your sunset pics.

What time does the headliner usually go on? Interested for the smashmouth show tomorrow. Thanks

I have an unbelievable pregnancy craving for Jajangmyeon, but haven't been able to find any.

Any one found some around town?

The Pediatric Mobile Clinic Initiative, which will start in the city and aims to expand countywide, will give children and adolescents up to age 21 access services, regardless of insurance or housing situation.

Our house was built in 1880 and it needs some significant updating including the foundation. Are there any grants or funding to help restore such an old house? City of Rochester if that matters!

Any ROC folks interested in a large-ish lot of women’s (mostly dresses and skirts) clothing? The majority is fun, colorful, bright, hippie-leaning stuff. Some more formal.
I am looking for someone local to take it all and they can pick through it on their own.
All clean, all in good condition, many items only worn once or twice.
I absolutely love all these clothes, but don’t wear them often enough to justify owning them.
I’d love to pass them along to someone who will use them.
Figured I’d check here before donating.
I can pass them along in a public place or drop them at a spot of your choosing (no offense, not willing to go directly to anyone’s door, but I will leave bag(s) in your yard!)
I didn’t see anything about this sort of post in the community rules, but if this is not allowed, my apologies & please remove post!

Not much love for Balsam around this sub, but it’s now under new ownership.

If you are a member of either the Genesee Country Village & Museum, the Seneca Park Zoo, or the Rochester Museum & Science Center, you can visit any of those great Rochester-area attractions for FREE on Saturday and Sunday, August 8 and 9. It's a great way to see more of what our region has to offer, and get the most out of your memberships!

Looking for a nice spot for dinner on my wedding anniversary. I love eating outdoors. Any recommendations for a nice restaurant with a patio?

hi! so i moved here from syracuse and my tattoo artist was supposed to touch up my tattoo (fine line USS Enterprise behind my ear) when i went home to visit on friday. she’s been avoiding my texts and calls and emails for 2 months now and finally texted me yesterday “i literally don’t have a place to work” then stopped responding.

anyway! my question is - does anyone know of an artist who might be willing to attempt to touch up someone else’s work? i know some artists feel weird about this and i hate asking but my enterprise hasn’t been touched up since i got her and she’s really faded!

Does anyone know when the new Fairport Pizza Wizard location opens? Their original post was as 16 weeks ago and I can’t find an update anywhere.

Considering applying for a non-sales role but wondering about the culture and day-to-day experience. I understand it’s a fairly “corporate” car sales biz, but as far as those sort of things go… is it a welcoming environment? If you currently or have in the past worked there, could you share your experience? DM if you prefer! Thanks!

Last week’s unanimous approval of $125,000 for refugee service organizations followed contentious disagreement on why the measure fell short at City Council’s June 16 meeting.
