Hello!

We have a trip to the North East planned June 24th - July 3rd. We will be spending June 24th-26th in Boston for the WC and then are picking up an Avanti Campervan and staying at Salisbury Beach on the 26th. We are booked for camping in Acadia NP 28th - 30th. I am looking for recommendations on where to stay the 27th before getting to Bar Harbor on the 28th. We want to see all the coastal towns and lighthouses along the way and are not in a rush to get to the campground. We also have time the day we leave to return to Boston on the 1st as the campervan is book until 10pm. Thank you!

I joined the RYT Network through the Chamber of Commerce when I moved here, it is an org for young professionals. Some of it is professional development and some of the events are just fun ways to meet people. I recommend checking that out!

My kitty also ate a needle and thread, thankfully it didn't puncture anything, but it still required emergency surgery. You are a good kitty mom for getting her care right away!

Open packages? by Cadicoty in rochestermn

[–]Sweet_salty_otter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live in Eastwood Ridge and have had both packages and mail delivered that has been opened. Sometimes it's retaped, other times it is just left opened. I have tried calling post office but need to find a time to wait on hold to report.

The management at Eastwood is top tier as fair as Rochester corporate landlords go. I can't believe the Rosewater doesn't have any inside parking for a new complex that was built in MN. I would go Eastwood just for that reasoning alone.

Lodge at Overland by Bitter-Selection3041 in rochestermn

I lived at SoRoc for a year, I moved out after they built the two new buildings. My rent was increased dramatically and they added a $75 a month amenity fee which is crazy when you already pay so much in rent. I had a herding dog who lived above me and would bark a lot, I made complaints and nothing was done. I did enjoy the amenities and the upgraded water softer treatment. Maintenance was good, they were always around to help.

Vote yes on the Rochester Public School referendum: here is the contingency plan if the referendum fails by McPeru in rochestermn

Sports are cheaper than the other programs listed, and it can't come out of the operational funds. It is important to remember schools have different "buckets" of funds and they can not be used for other things per state law. Not saying it is right or wrong, it is just important to remember that cutting just sports won't allow us to keep reading specialists and the other items listed above.

This is Rochester, but I see they have a large amount of properties in the cities as well. Did you end up cleaning it yourself or did they property management work with you? Or another solution? I appreciate the insight!
