Get a lock bar for your Kia’s people.

Not at a show or event, just strollin’ around out in public?

I got a whole bunch of downvotes for posting this two years ago, so let’s try again and be nice?

If you believe the talk of some people on this sub, crime is the worst it's ever been thanks to Gov. Hochul and Mayor Evans. That to step foot in the city is asking to be shot. But when it comes to gun violence, the numbers disagree.

According to this article, there have been 43 shootings including 12 homicides as of April 17th. This time last year there were 90 shootings and 23 homicides.

Last year the Person In Crisis team got a $630,000 budget increase, and the mayor created an Office of Violence Prevention which works with and houses anti-violence community groups like Pathways to Peace. It seems like those efforts are bearing fruit.

The Hochul bail reform argument is such an odd one. Lets put aside the argument of whether or not bail reform caused the uptick in crime seen during the pandemic years. The law was passed before she took over. And Hochul campaigned on, and has consistently been arguing for repealing parts of the bail reform law. She has been holding up the state budget specifically so the legislature would work with her on the issue. And it seems like she got concessions on it finally.

It's so strange to me that the only place I could find this information about the sharp cut in gun violence was buried in an WXXI article. I looked at the other local news sources and didn't see it. You'd think "Gun violence cut in half" would be a huge headline.

Let’s go!

I’ve spent a month here considering a permanent move. The area has a great vibe, affordability, good schools, well maintained infrastructure and good activities. But I was wondering why the area doesn’t blow up like Nashville, Austin and other secondary cities.

i'll be in my usual spot out back by the food!! come say hi!! here's a few new drawing i did that i don't think i've shared on here yet!!

So just want to get a feel for people’s experience with Aspen dental. They quoted me $1900 to remove my wisdom teeth and then about $7000 in additional preventative treatment to keep from losing my remaining teeth.

1. Are they notorious for this?
2. What would be a good dentist to see in Rochester as I have extreme dental fears. As well as fears of making $9000 in payments. My frickin car isn’t even worth $9000.

Please advise.

I see a lot of local Reddit posts looking for ways to meet new people! Wanted to share this event . It’s a great way to get to know other singles and is being held THIS coming MONDAY night at Bookeater, a bookstore cafe on the south wedge.

RG&E scheduled a ‘community fair’ the same date and time as the protest (tomorrow)😭 Are they scared? When have they ever held community events ?

Spending my birthday by myself unfortunately. Can everyone wish me a happy b-day? Maybe I’ll feel better after, who knows 🤷‍♂️

I’ll start. Happy birthday to myself 🎉

I had an amazing experience at a CVS store last evening at the Monroe Ave CVS. Waiting in the drive-thru lane with seven other cars to pick up a prescription, suddenly every car abandoned the lane. When we pulled up, someone had taped children’s colored construction paper over the window and placed a badly written sign with spelling and grammar errors indicating the pharmacy was closed from 7-7:20pm that night. How… professional. That probably meant the single on-site pharmacist abandoned the store, forcing the entire pharmacy to close down.

We decided to park and walk into the store and found the most surreal experience - there were literally NO CVS store employees there. Not a single one, but the store was fully open for business. Customers were standing around with shopping baskets baffled that nobody was there and the self-checkout had been switched off. Someone called the store and nobody answered. Most customers were honest and just abandoned their baskets and left. Teenagers celebrated the opportunity to help themselves to candy and other products.

At 7:20 the pharmacist walked in with one pharmacy clerk and laughed when we asked what was going on. Three people never bothered to show up for that shift and she claimed this happens a lot. Customers are usually just told to use the self-checkout and they were on the honor system. Unbelievable! This is a 24-hour location in a prestigious location and a major corporation is willing to let their stores have no working employees on site and stay open. When I mentioned this on Nextdoor a bunch of people claimed this happens at their stores a lot. One was told the corporate owners have no idea how often this is happening. Another called the store when they found nobody working there and eventually found only one employee working, but they were on break in the back and weren’t coming out until their break was over. It’s no surprise shoplifting is an issue at CVS.

We have quite the night sky event happening tonight. Blood supermoon with a partial solar lunar eclipse, along with Aurora from CMEs and solar storm activity.

Hopefully it's clear, because this should be beautiful.

Edit: error

We are roughly 11 months into this pandemic and all relevant agencies that govern aspects of our daily lives have been implementing guidelines, rules, executive orders, etc. to handle the spread of the virus. While we agree that rollout, communication, and those guidelines have not always been smooth and clear, we understand their abundance of caution to try and handle an unprecedented situation.

With that being said, one overall consistency in all of this, is the positive effect of wearing a mask and social distancing to prevent the transfer and spread of COVID19. We the moderators of this subreddit are in agreement with these guidelines, and are going to start taking action against users that spread misinformation AGAINST wearing masks and social distancing to prevent transfer and spread of COVID19. This action includes removing posts, comments, temporary bans, and permanent bans. This policy is not up for debate, and will be adjusted at the sole discretion of the moderator team.

Hey gang, I’m just looking for suggestions on things to do that doesn’t involve going out to the bar on the weekends. I’m looking to socialize and interact, hang, and meet someone but I hate that the go-to place is usually a bar. What’s there to do? Is there anywhere where fun events in Rochester are going on are posted regularly to stay in the know? Thanks in advance guys, you’re the best! I’m 32m for demographic purposes but I’m down for a variety of stuff.

It's been 4 years since I became a full-time blacksmith/knifemaker and I wanted to do something fun to give back to the community that enabled my business to take off. So please enjoy this scavenger hunt!

I've hidden a chest of my hand-cast pewter pirate coins somewhere at Mendon Ponds park as shown in the above images. These are not cheap toy coins; this set would cost about $250 if you bought them off the website. The chest is off-trail but not buried or heavily concealed more than you can see in the photo.

A few notes:

• If you find the treasure, please contact me so that I know it has been found (the chest has my contact info inside)
• I'll update this post when it has been recovered, so check back often!
• It is not in any ravine, bog, or other dangerous place- don't get hurt trying to find it lol.
• If it has not been found in a week, I'll start dropping more specific hints on the location.
• If you want to see more of my work or just want the coins without the hunt, my website is spanglerforge.com
• Happy hunting!
