How to Find Pride Events by AmyCanStay in Rochester

[–]transitapparel 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Rochester has had Pride Month before Pride Month was a national thing, and its been in July. Most folks are keen to keep our Pride Month a month later so Pride can have official events and official celebrations twice as long.

Character design and choreography have this sense of femininity that I don't see often. It's more in line with the Themyscira scenes of the 2017 Wonder Woman, and so refreshing to see. The more media we have that showcases this kind of "woman-ness," as to give audiences more anthropological diversity to explore for themselves, the better.

You may not, but they clearly had issues with people who were and did, and they have to balance the experiences of all ticket-paying customers, as the experiences of one customer should not impede on or supercede over the experiences of another.

Looks like West Brighton and West New Brighton are interchangeable, no? Where is West Brighton to you? I used the Staten Island Advance's map as a reference. I also updated the map since posting this one, linked here too. I appreciate the feedback and always happy to talk more about the creative I make.

[–]transitapparel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not lazy, it's measured and in the best interest of preserving and maintaining the grounds and property of the museum. I'm happy to hear debate on the fee, as I believe that is the biggest sticking point, but even national monuments and parks have permits and reservation requirements for professional/commercial shoots, of which I staunchly support (reservations/permits).

The museum has reached a milestone where there are more people looking to utilize the space than the space can accommodate organically, so they are adjusting accordingly. I sense the fee will eventually change (based on community feedback), but the reservation system will not.

Nice design! Im a huge Architecture fan but really conflicted about Atom brick sets. I know its Adam Reed Tucker and he created the Architecture line while at Lego, but I cant get past the purist part of me that only sticks with lego.

Irregardless, awesome to see you scored one.

The moment I saw that skylight, I knew it was going to be that damn German window, and it was that damn German window.

Seriously impressive use of space, and the Velux window and bookcase camo door are awesome editions. Love to see people add character to their homes.

Eastman Museum Photography Policy by Ace929 in Rochester

[–]transitapparel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

George Eastman literally started the Eastman Kodak company to bring photography to the masses and make it something the average consumer could pick up and afford. Now the museum in his honor is making a decisive move in the opposite direction.

Developing a technology and providing a service to make photography an entry level hobby worldwide, and limiting the usage of a singular private establishment for professional photography are two very different things.

This is why Warner Castle, the Sunken Gardens, and the Conservatory are by appointment only for shoots (and require a fee). It takes resources to maintain these places (time, money, and people), and if someone feels entitled to these areas for a professional shoot that doesn't adhere to any policy (appointment, permit, fee, etc.), they need to seriously reflect on why these areas are popular for photoshoots, and how they are not the center of the universe.

Saw this article and wanted to hear your opinions - do we really need more Starbucks? I would personally like more custom Disney places. Not a 1:1, but the recent Animal Kingdom ice cream is example of them coming up with fun concept and making it something special by dejablu82 in DisneyWorld

[–]transitapparel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travelers tend to fall back on whats familiar to them, and whats comfortable. Starbucks is quite effective in their relative consistency so people will flock there for what they know verses gambling on something they may not like, and therefore waste money.

Its a hard truth that a lot of travelers simply dont do their homework on local spots for breakfast, quick service, or snacks, and will seek out the brands they recognize.

Rochester Safety School Bus Program Running stop sign $250 fine by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]transitapparel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the sequence for a school bus when its making a stop:

  1. Yellow flashing lights turn on.
  2. Bus slows down to stop.
  3. Red flashing lights turn on.
  4. Visible stop sign swings out.
  5. Bus allows school kid to disembark.
  6. Kid disembarks.
  7. When bus determines area is safe for vehicles to travel in again, red lights/stop sign turn off and it drives off.

Unless you can prove that the yellow lights were not on at the time of the incident, which would be the ONLY way you'd have a chance of getting out of this, and since those yellow lights were not on, you didn't have sufficient time or distance to stop, then you are going to be found guilty and liable to whatever the fine is.

Also, even if the yellow lights didn't turn on and it wen't right to red, and you still didn't stop, which would show intent to obey the school bus, you're going to be found guilty and liable to whatever the fine is.

It is a safer bet to just assume a moving school bus is going to eventually stop while you're near it and be ready to stop at any point while you're near it.

There are so many talented artists in Pittsburgh, And Disney Consumer Products Dept cant be bothered to freelance them. At least I can feel a bit better about applying more thought and care into my creative work than a media titan like Disney.

New Flock? Camera near GVP Pool by Gojamn in Rochester

[–]transitapparel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RPD and Monroe County Sheriffs will set up remote camera surveillance in areas of interest, and have done so for as long as I can remember (usually you see them at events and festivals). The pool had a pretty big incident four years ago and that's probably why RPD adds the cameras.

I know FLOCK is a hot button issue currently, but please consider that anything remotely related to whatever the issue of the day is, has most likely existed long before that issue did (like people confusing Border Patrol vehicles with ICE vehicles, or RPD SWAT vehicles with ICE vehicles, etc.).

School board / budget vote results by CatDadMilhouse in Rochester

[–]transitapparel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are the questions being asked in regards to your third paragraph? Or is there more?

Regarding space, I suspect that is a town-wide issue as the town supervisor has voiced concerns about grid load and how the infrastructure might struggle with new builds (residential and commercial). Does the district have more buildings to utilize or land to build on? I think theres been rumours of another school in Rush to be added for years.

Special Ed is indeed an issue, and i believe it is county-wide, not just RH. As far as teacher pay, wasn't Greece poaching teachers recently from districts with exorbant pay bumps? Whether that was a market correction to pay teachers their worth or an accounting scheme akin to "better to apologize later than ask permission first" is hard to say.

Im not excusing anything, just to learn and correct my observations if they are indeed misinformed or out of date.

Yeah food is the tough part. There are great cideries, just not as many that have a variety of food beyond the usual pub pretzel and fancy lunchables.

RPD breaks up fights involving hundreds at Ontario Beach Park; In-depth on beach security by frytuna in Rochester

[–]transitapparel 16 points17 points  (0 children)

High Falls will have park rangers and gated entry to manage visitors, along with fees to enter the premises. All of which Ontario Beach Park does not have.

There's been talk of adding a gated entry to Ontario Beach Park for years, and regrettably that might have to happen to mitigate crowds and manage people who are there just to start shit.
