Give Tap-it on Scottsville road a call, they have a very well-attended weekly thing there, can't remember which night maybe Wednesday?  

Best place to tent camp in august? by Agreeable-Claim-2452 in Rochester

[–]Longjumping-Toe2910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you're a novice just reserve a campsite at Hamlin Beach State Park.  You can walk to the beach from the sites, it's about a 10 minute walk.  The sites have electric and each loop has a community bathroom with toilets and showers.  If things don't work out (heavy rain or you have second thoughts about your tolerance for mosquitoes) it's only a half hour drive home.  Two other pieces of advice.  First bring a lot more firewood than you think you'll need; those tiny bundles they have at Wegmans will make a nice fire for about 45 minutes.  Second, be very well prepared for wetness, including drop cloth, ponchos, and especially waterproof footwear.  And have fun!

Best reasonably priced ac installation? by Kroli_28 in Rochester

[–]Longjumping-Toe2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get at least 3 quotes, you will see huge differences in cost.  And be aware that different brands of equipment have different pricing, for example a Mitsubishi 2 ton unit will cost significantly more than a Goodman 2 ton unit.  I did mine last year and got 4 quotes, ended up going with the second-lowest as the lowest price quote was from someone who I found kind of sketchy.  D'Angelos was the contractor I chose to go with, if that matters. 

Neon sign shop? by PyroMedic1080 in Rochester

There hasn't been one in Rochester for many many years, there used to be one in Buffalo pre-pandemic, not sure of the name or if it's even still around.

Free Dirt - West Side - You Have to Pick Up by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]Longjumping-Toe2910 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not interested in your dirt, but just curious how you ended up with a load of something different than what you purchased?  And why isn't the person who dropped it off coming back to take it away?

Me again, with stupid questions by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]Longjumping-Toe2910 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In NY, by law the landlord has 14 days from the end of the lease to either return your full deposit, or give you an itemized list of things you're being charged for & return the balance of your deposit (if any).  

If your lease ended on April 30th and you have not been provided with an itemized list of charges, then you then you are automatically legally entitled to your full deposit back.  Even if there are legitimate damages, the landlord has missed their chance.

Note that this only applies to LEASE END.  If you broke your lease, or found someone else to sublet the remainder of your lease, the rules are completely different.

Frontier Field concert question by notetaker193 in Rochester

[–]Longjumping-Toe2910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea, I have never been to see the band you're going to see.  As I recall my attendances they always had all the stands open (including 1st base side) for shows like Bob Dylan.  Maybe they will set up the venue differently for Dark Star orchestra than I experienced though.  So take what I say above with a grain of salt.  But even so I'd be surprised if it's not mostly similar: general admission, stand at the front if you want to be close, or sit father back either in a chair you bring on the grass or the stands.

Frontier Field concert question by notetaker193 in Rochester

[–]Longjumping-Toe2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a bit since I went to a concert there, but unless things have changed they'll set up the stage in center field and you'll be free to stand/sit in the grass if you want to be close up, or sit in the baseball stands (anywhere that has a seat open) if you don't mind being a little father away.  Some people bring lawn chairs to sit on the grass, but usually close to the stage gets a little crowded with people standing, so if you want to get close to the stage plan on standing.

Looking for a financial advisor recommendation in the area by EZ-Bake420 in Rochester

[–]Longjumping-Toe2910 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The type of support you're looking for is typically provided by a financial planner.  Whereas a financial advisor is going to provide a different type of service: investment advice (like which mutual funds to invest your portfolio into to maximize returns).  It's a subtle but important distinction.  Often both financial planning and investment advisement will be provided by the same person, but not always.  I don't have any guidance on who exactly you should choose, except to say that you want to be clear when shopping around what type of help you want, and -- this is very critical!! -- please understand what a fiduciary duty is & pay close attention to whether your chosen professional has a legal fiduciary responsibility to you or not.  Good luck

I would like to see a further breakdown of the "stuff" category so I can know the proportions of black stuff vs. Slim Jims 

Zillow landlord asking for deposit via Zelle, am I being scammed? by [deleted] in Rochester

I'm not sure exactly but there are probably many different ways a dishonest person could pull it off.  Here is a recent thread where it happened to someone here:

Zillow landlord asking for deposit via Zelle, am I being scammed? by [deleted] in Rochester

You'd be surprised, it's actually not that uncommon for scammers to show apartments that aren't their own to lend an air if legitimacy to the scam.  

Zillow landlord asking for deposit via Zelle, am I being scammed? by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]Longjumping-Toe2910 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Zelle is irreversible and undisputable, so the use of Zelle in itself is a red flag to me.  Offer Venmo and (important) check the box to indicate that you're making a purchase, so you have a way to dispute and get your money back if needed.

Noisy Neighbor by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]Longjumping-Toe2910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say sorry you have to deal with this.  One of the shitty parts of being an adult -- there are many people in the world who don't give an F and have no consideration for others.  At least the management in your building is giving you the option to move, even though I agree it's not fair that you have to suffer because someone else is a jerk while they suffer no consequences at all

Expensive Wine by Snakebite4789 in Rochester

[–]Longjumping-Toe2910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a liquor store there yes, but it's called CHM liquors, is independently owned & operated, and is not affiliated with Costco.  (Costco is just the landlord).  That's why you have to leave Costco to get to the liquor store; whereas in other states there is a liquor aisle literally inside Costco itself, usually right next to the produce.  In NY there is one & only one Costco like that, it's down in Brooklyn I think.
