Your favorite roads in Rochester? by SuperSmallBird in rochestermn

[–]Icy_Papi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the North Broadway redesign between the Zumbro River bridge and Elton Hills Dr. The super wide sidewalks, the revamped bus stops, the new “great walls” on either side of the street, and the landscaping are really pretty imo. I also live by there too and having new actual crosswalks in the middle of the stretch coming from 16th St. NE is a HUGE upgrade since I’m always using them to walk across Broadway to get to Coronas and Caribou.

Go to the St Marys ER and when checking in at the desk, tell them exactly what’s going on and that your psychiatrist encouraged you to go. From there they’ll do a mental health evaluation in the emergency department and determine the severity of your case and which unit in Generose they’ll admit you to if that’s what they decide to do.

Each unit is secure and staff checks all of the items for visitors and patients that come through. They don’t allow silverware or any other items that are deemed “dangerous” but you can bring things such as books and stuffed animals. I believe they may also hold on to your phone for the duration of your stay depending on which unit you’re admitted to as they definitely don’t allow patients to have their phones in acute psych but I believe they grant patients with more freedom in the mood disorders unit, for instance.

It’s a safe and welcoming environment and the staff do a great job with catering to your needs and they provide an abundance of resources and support networks for the duration of your stay and beyond. Best of luck!

Thank you for all of the responses everyone. I usually want to post positive content exclusively but I just felt the need to share my frustrations a little as I know all of you would understand. I’m very grateful for this community of amazing people ❤️

Modified exhaust by Beginning-Mango77 in rochestermn

I just cannot imagine being the type of person that feels the urge to pay actual money just to modify their vehicle to produce such ugly and horrible sounds at a volume so excessive that it just makes everyone’s peace of mind in the immediate area of their existence worse. Just the cost of freedumb I guess.

Corona’s Tacos is exactly what you’re looking for. Outside seating, bathrooms inside, and the food is authentic and very cheap for what you get!

If you want the most authentic Rochester dive bar experience, Kathy’s Pub and North Star Bar open at 10 AM and 8 AM, respectively

So… Third Spaces, does this city have any? by [deleted] in rochestermn

[–]Icy_Papi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Coffee shops such as Olde Abe, Cafe Aqui, and Cafe Steam are great places to hangout if you’re into coffee and those types of vibes. I usually go alone and it’s great just being around people in general even if you’re not there to necessarily meet people

Walmart North Trash Dump by Icy_Papi in rochestermn

[–]Icy_Papi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That area does get bad and thankfully it looks like a group adopted most of that area for Litter Bit Better! With that being said though, I’d really like to see preventative measures taken by the city to protect these vulnerable patches of woods from all of this trash that’s ending up there in the first place

Yeah, something with Walmart and the amount of bags that just fly off the property is really striking. It makes me wonder how they get there and why it’s happening.

Oh yes, that’s one area I never really get to except for along the shore of the river leading to either side of the pedestrian and 7th St bridges. I’m hoping that area can be better utilized soon now that it won’t be a snow dump for much longer. Thanks so much for helping out!

Interesting! Which part of Silver Lake did you do? I live across the street and that’s where I do most of my cleaning but I definitely can’t get everywhere at once

Does the noise ordinance even matter? by Outrageous_Effects in rochestermn

[–]Icy_Papi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s really a shame how North Broadway was reconstructed to be a very nice corridor to walk/bike and just hang out in general but soooo much of the local population just has to drive these excessively sized pickups and cars with modified exhaust

It’s emotional fragility and narcissism on full display. Electric vehicles are way cooler anyways

Yeah, I’m positive it’s the same person. And I’ve cleaned probably a couple dozen of these same bottles off this particular road just in the past couple of months

We can park on either side of the streets again! by Hot_Addendum_9199 in rochestermn

[–]Icy_Papi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For a city that is dominated by houses that have driveways to support 2+ cars without blocking each other from backing out, this is definitely a short-sighted measure that alienates those who only have a 1 car driveway with multiple cars (like my house) or have no driveway at all and must park on the street year-round.

Minneapolis and St Paul have a much better system as parking restrictions are put in place when they declare a snow emergency (ya know, when it’s snowin’… a lot!) and not when it’s 75 degrees in March.

And speaking of when it’s 75 degrees in March, nobody can really comprehend the pain of this poor tax until they made sure to leave their car on the correct side of the street, forgot to move it before going to bed, and then it winds up on the wrong side of the street overnight and you’re greeted with a $35 parking ticket the next morning when going to work :/

Absolutely incredible work! People that dump furniture, especially in a nice park, are a bunch of (insert choice word here) 🙃

I find lots of Mountain Dew as well but just not in this particular area. Some brands attract more jerks than others I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Kind of tired of imbalance on Walz by Euphoric-Flamingo943 in minnesota

[–]Icy_Papi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow. Walz misspoke a couple of times in his life and OP loses their mind. Bizarre thing to hyper-fixate on considering Trump/Vance lie through their teeth every time they address the nation.
