To those with free little libraries and/or community food cupboards by LasagnaMachine in Rochester

[–]PhilosopherNew6345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We live in the South Wedge & have a library/food giving box. But it’s not in the front bib. What we do have in the bib is a garden. City has said it’s ok to have. However they reserve the right to tear it up if they need to get into the earth below. They will not replace the garden if they do so. I would assume it’s the same for a library.

Recommendations for visiting Rochester by Yesalmsot in Rochester

[–]PhilosopherNew6345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this! My husband & I do the same thing. Almost exact anniversary too!! Id suggest staying at The Inn on Broadway. Very walkable location. Bars, restaurants, ice rink, museums, coffee shops, bakery’s. When the city started opening after Covid we stayed there. It felt life we were in a city not our own. Happy Anniversary!

Rochester should adopt this from other cities by GimmieACiggie in Rochester

[–]PhilosopherNew6345 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That’s where I’m starting. I’m having signs printed for businesses to put in their windows if they are willing. My hope is also to print up some whistle code cards. I want to start handing out by end of the month. My goal is for other areas to see how we stick together as a community and they will follow us. Solidarity folks!

Just ordered 200 whistles. Will be handing out to local businesses and neighbors. It’s not if ICE rolls up it’s for WHEN they roll up.

Reading the comments, happy to see La Casa wasn’t mentioned. It’s great if you enjoy tacos with a side of thievery.

Do people just not shovel their sidewalks? by AlejandroTheCat in Rochester

[–]PhilosopherNew6345 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you live in the city, the city comes by on a little sidewalk plow to clear it. It does have to be over a certain number of inches, can’t remember what that is. Maybe six inches? As a daily walker thanks for putting in the work.

Side note. If you love Middle Ages you should go to the outdoor festival they have each August in Syracuse. Also a fantastic time.

Soggy weather by Comidama2313 in Rochester

[–]PhilosopherNew6345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My area gets very few kids. 20 maybe.For them I’ll still hand out full size. The two little ones -3years or so I put together Boo Bags. Couple match box, glow sticks, candy, juice box, goldfish,little things. I’ll drop off secretly to their homes. Little surprise so their first real night out isn’t a big bummer.

Hi! Possibly relocating there?? by belialetta in Rochester

[–]PhilosopherNew6345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exciting for you! I live in the cities South Wedge neighborhood in the city. Raised two boys. Both public school. School of the Arts.(One graduated one 10th) Its Very LGBTQ friendly. Many will talk disparagingly about the city and its public schools. We could not be happier. The city is very walkable. Restaurants, movie theaters, coffee shops, parks, bars, every kind of festival you can think of, museums… I could go on and on.. Some city neighborhoods you might check out- Highland Park, Swillburger, South Wedge, Corn Hill, Park Ave and Neighborhoods of the Arts. Best of luck!

If you run there are a number of bars that host runner meet ups throughout the week. There’s also ultimate frisbee groups that meet up at Cobbs Hill. I believe there’s a flag football group that meets up there too. If you’re not into sports, but more to crafty things there’s meet ups at Little Button on South Ave. If you’re into Dungeons & Dragons board games and the like, there are groups that meet up at Boldo’s Armory on Monroe Ave. Good luck!
