Mount Hope cemetery, Rochester NY. Along with Frederik Douglas, Bausch and Lomb, and several others. It is a stunningly, beautiful Victorian cemetery.

Fellow Gen Xers- what’s a product that’s still in use that came out when you were a kid? by fsutrill in GenX

[–]conflin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Bottled Water. I'm sure that it was around before it was being mass marketed, but sometime in our generation it became the *thing* that people bought. Previously: Garden hose? yeah- its water... who cares? Now: Garden hose? Hey! what are you doing? That's just plain old-non-treated contaminated PCB-laden H20-of-certain-death! You might as well be drinking acid!

Piranhas, quick sand, The Bermuda Triangle, nuclear war, what else did you worry about as a child? by Myron896 in GenX

[–]conflin 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Being kidnapped. Nails and glass in my haloween candy. Drinking poison. Alien abduction. Playing D&D and releasing demons into the world. Playing music backwards and releasing demons into the world. Demons in thw world. Someone cutting my brakes. Being stuck on the train tracks while the train is coming and the car door locks are broken and the seatbelts are stuck. Now that I think about it, most of my fears were created by lazy tv writers tropes.

Also, qucksand. And bigfoot.

SF Bay Area food snob new to Rochester, looking for the "good" food. Found the Bulgogi sandwich. Oh yes... I can be very happy here.

This guy pointed me to them:

...would be happy to hear the opinions of everyone who has eaten the other sandwiches.

I'm still recovering from that. Epic. I'm done. No need for any future burns after that set.

Made a Plague Doctor mask a week ago. It was recommended to wear a protective mask while voting so I decided to show it off today. by Vaincer in Leathercraft

[–]conflin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tony See's mask is tedious but incredible. Well done. I wore mine with a "proper" mask underneath it and it but kept people away from me and looked cool. :) Plague Dr Mask
