The toughest part of putting together the Annual Manual each year isn’t finding stuff to write about — it’s fitting all of Rochester into one publication. It’s impossible to condense any city into a few dozen pages, and Rochester is certainly no exception. City Newspaper could put out an Annual Manual every week and still not cover everything there is to know about the Flower City. The 2011 Annual Manual ended up taking an interesting, totally unintentional angle: it focuses more on the tiny details of our community instead of the bigger institutions that usually define the area. Many of the big guns are still mentioned — the Memorial Art Gallery, Little Theatre, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Highland Park, the garbage plate, etc. — and rightfully so. It wouldn’t be Rochester without them. But the majority of the content focuses on people, places, and things that help to make this area special, butdon’t get as much of the limelight. For instance, Rochester has not one, but multiple blogs and webcams devoted to the falcons that roost in our city. The region is home to dozens of tiny, fascinating museums that explore everything from Jell-O to lighthouses to coverlets. Thousands of our residents participate in sports leagues focused on disc golf, table tennis, and more. And if a city is judged on the quantity and quality of its neighborhood pizzerias, then Rochester is in good company, indeed. We hope that this year’s Annual Manual will illuminate areas of Rochester living that even lifelong residents may be unaware of, as well as provide visitors and newcomers with plenty of ideas on how to get out and explore this rich, fascinating city and its suburbs. If you’re hungry for more, check out previous editions of Annual Manual at rochestercitynewspaper.com, and make sure to pick up City Newspaper every Wednesday, free at countless distribution spots across the city and Monroe County. Now get out there and explore.

WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS

Monroe County is about as diverse a community as you can fi nd: a mid-size city, rural areas with orchards and farm markets, suburbs with 20th-century tract houses and shopping malls, and quaint, Victorian villages. Th e Genesee River and the Erie Canal bisect the county, more or less vertically and diagonally, so geology and history are a constant presence, shaping everything from traffi c patterns to architecture and public festivals. Th e county is literally a community of dozens of communities: 19 towns, nine villages, a combo town-village, and the City of Rochester (which has its own, numerous, defi ned neighborhoods). Given the number, there might be a good bit of similarity among all these, but each has its own distinct identity. Some draw it from their heritage, others from their location and their surroundings (parks, universities, manufacturing plants, farmland). And to many of the residents, the individuality of their particular hometown or neighborhood is a source of fi erce pride. You can get a taste of the diversity by sampling six of the local communities, from the charming Maplewood neighborhood to up-and-coming suburb Webster. For additional community profi les, check the Annual Manual page on rochestercitynewspaper.com.

NORTH WINTON VILLAGETh e North Winton Village neighborhood has, over the last 10 years, become one of the city’s most vibrant communities. Located in the Southeast section of the city, North Winton has aff ordably priced older homes, and has attracted many fi rst-time homebuyers. North Winton Village is fl anked by Merchants Road to the north, Blossom Road

to the south, North Winton Road to the east, and Culver Road to the west. And the neighborhood’s location, just west of the Browncroft neighborhood, is probably its biggest asset. Its proximity to East Avenue and Park Avenue, and easy access to I-490 and I-590, makes North Winton Village convenient to many of the city’s favorite destinations. Residents who enjoy outdoor activities have a choice of the secluded 82-acre Tryon Park or the natural beauty of Ellison Park. Th e neighborhood has also seen an infl ux of small, diverse businesses. Tryon Bike and Reptile Showcase, for example, are within a few hundred feet of one another. And there are many food stops to choose from: Jim’s Restaurant, the Ravioli Shop, Balsam Bagels, Bay Goodman Pizza, and Captain Jim’s Fish Market are some of the neighborhood favorites. Other businesses like Mayer Paint and Hardware, Captain Tony’s Pizza and Pasta Emporium, and the Winfi eld Grill are long-time fi xtures of North Winton Village. Residents also have easy access to food markets with Tops Friendly Market on North Winton Road and Wegmans on East Avenue.

Much of the area’s rejuvenation can be credited to the work of the North Winton Village Neighborhood Association. Area residents and business owners have worked aggressively to prevent crime and neighborhood deterioration. And the association holds a one-day North Winton Village Festival of the Arts. Th e event, which off ers a combination of arts, crafts, and music, is held each year in September. — TM

MAPLEWOODTh e Maplewood neighborhood in Northwest Rochester is home to Maplewood Park, which was planned by Frederick Law Olmsted. Th e park, sometimes referred to as Seneca Park West, highlights views of the Genesee River gorge and Lower Falls. And the Maplewood Rose Garden off ers a display of thousands of rose bushes. While many of the bushes bloom all summer, the heaviest blooming period in early-to-mid June attracts rose enthusiasts from around the region to the annual rose festival. Since many of the homes in Maplewood were built around the early

1900’s, the neighborhood has eclectic housing stock with a wide range of architectural styles. Rochester’s early industrial tycoons lined Lake Avenue with mansions, and factory workers for the city’s growing manufacturing base took up residence in the neighborhood. But Maplewood has endured struggles, as well. Former long-time City Council member Bob Stevenson once cited Maplewood as an example of the damage that poorly conceived building and zoning changes can cause. The changes allowed many of the neighborhood’s large homes to be converted into apartments. Many others were demolished. The Maplewood Rose Garden also once fell into decline due to county budget cuts. But there’s been renewed interest in the neighborhood over the last decade. First-time homebuyers are attracted to Maplewood’s large, affordably priced homes and its proximity to downtown. A portion of Maplewood was designated an historic area in 1997, and it is included in the National Register for Historic Places. The rose garden, which is undergoing a major transformation though improved maintenance, is a favorite city location for wedding photos. — TM

HIGHLAND PARK NEIGHBORHOODThis neighborhood owes much of its charm to lush greenery, stunning homes, and its close proximity to Highland Park, one of the region’s most important attractions. For those who long for a small neighborhood atmosphere close to all of the amenities the city has to offer, the Highland Park neighborhood is a favorite. Located in the Southeast section of the city, the neighborhood is flanked by the park that shares its name on its southern border, Gregory Street to the north, South Avenue to the west, and South Clinton to the east. The Ellwanger and Barry Realty Company played a prominent role in the early development of the area. Many Highland Park residents live in homes built from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s on land that was once used for nurseries. Though often cited for its historical significance, the Highland Park neighborhood is probably better recognized today for its close proximity to some of the area’s educational centers such as the University of Rochester, RIT, MCC, and Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity. For those working in the health-care field, Highland Hospital and URMC are also nearby. Getting to work downtown is a snap. And the area is close to the diversity of dining and shopping experiences available in the South Wedge.

The Highland Park Neighborhood Association, one of the most active in the city, works in close coordination with the Southeast Area Coalition. The organization serves as an umbrella group for about 30 neighborhood and merchant associations on preservation and development issues. The HPNA has organized around issues such as traffic congestion and over-development. More recently, HPNA has been working to keep young families in the city. By promoting all of the educational alternatives available for children in the city, Highland Park residents hope to persuade more families to choose city living. — TM

EAST ROCHESTERThere is, quite literally, no place in Monroe County like East Rochester. ER is the county’s only town-village, and one of only three such communities in the state. The arrangement makes for an interesting, if somewhat confusing, governmental structure. Monroe County’s villages are all located in towns. It helps to think of each village as an extra layer of government: villages, after all, were formed to provide services beyond what the towns offered. In East Rochester’s case, one part of the village was in Pittsford, the other was in Perinton. That changed in 1981 when ER withdrew from the two towns and re-formed as a town and village, each with identical boundaries. The village’s elected officials also serve as the town’s elected officials.

East Rochester got its start as the railroad Village of Despatch. The train tracks that cut through the village are an obvious reminder. But some of the buildings that went up in the village’s early years are still standing and they too serve as monuments to East Rochester’s industrial past. Piano Works Mall is, as you might expect, a former piano factory. The factory was, in the village’s early days, ER’s second-largest industry. It’s now home to shops and offices. Also worth noting is the Concrest neighborhood. Kate Gleason, former president of the First National Bank of East Rochester and the first female bank president in the United States, had the poured-concrete houses built to provide affordable housing for working East Rochesterians. It attracted the attention of Popular Mechanics magazine when it was under construction, and still gets attention from architecture buffs. Present-day East Rochester is a close-knit community that prides itself on, among other things, its successful school athletic teams. Its downtown is small, but with a variety of shops, restaurants, and bars. One of the community highlights is the annual East Rochester Fireman’s Carnival. There are the usual rides, contests, amusements, and concessions. But the large beer tent is where current and former East Rochesterians gather, mingle, and often reunite. — JM

GREECEGreece has been getting attention for some unsavory reasons: namely a scandal involving some of the town’s police officers. Fact is, though, there’s a lot more to Monroe County’s second-largest community. For example, it’s got one of the state’s largest school districts. The district’s middle and high schools names are rooted in Greek history and culture. It also routinely earns honors as one of the country’s safest communities. Most people associate Greece with the Ridge Road commercial corridor. It’s as long as the town is wide, and it’s lined with plazas, big-box stores, restaurants,

car dealerships, and just about anything else you’d expect on a suburban strip. That includes the Greece Ridge Mall, which was formed when Greece Town and Long Ridge Malls combined. It’s one of the largest malls in the Northeast. Ridge Road has been a center of commerce for the town since the 1800’s, when ships from the Great Lakes brought goods in to the Port of the Genesee in what would become the Village of Charlotte. The village was founded in 1869 and annexed by the City of Rochester in 1916. Modern Greece could actually be divided into two sections, each with its own distinct characteristics.

north, dense residential neighborhoods flank the Ridge Road corridor, giving the area the feel of the inner-ring suburb that it is. Head further north into the town and development starts to spread out a bit. And north of Latta Road, a drastic change occurs. Subdivisions and plazas give way to farmland and wetlands. Horses trot in fields. Migrating birds stop along the town’s eight miles of Lake Ontario shoreline, particularly at Braddock Bay. The bay is an Audubon Society-designated Important Bird Area and it’s home to the Braddock Bay Bird Observatory and Braddock Bay Raptor Research. — JM

WEBSTERIn the first few years of this century, Webster was the fastest-growing community in Monroe County. Its residential growth has leveled off a bit in recent years, now surpassed by Henrietta. Webster is a maturing suburb — and one that’s still

growing — that blends wilderness areas and parks with shopping plazas and a village. The town is located along Lake Ontario and large homes line the lake shore. And it’s one of the three Monroe County towns along Irondequoit Bay. Historically, Webster was a fruit-farming community. Like many of the towns along continues on page 10

Lake Ontario, the fertile soils provided ideal growing areas. Xerox helped set the town on its path to suburbanization when it opened its Phillips Road campus in the 1960’s. Many of the company’s employees followed, making their homes in Webster. The campus continues to grow: recently adding a toner plant. Over time, several other major employers have set-up shop in the town. Webster has large-scale shopping plazas, like the Town Center Plaza on Holt Road, and Empire Boulevard has diverse businesses ranging from a funeral home to a mini-golf course. The village has a solid commercial core of its own, with independently owned stores selling clothing, musical instruments, and bicycles. The community also has a well-developed network of trails, some of which are in nature preserves — the town has several. The tangled network in the county-owned Webster Park gets a lot of use for hiking, running, and cross-country skiing, while the Ridge Runners snowmobile club maintains a network of snowmobile trails that cross the town. The Friends of Webster Trails has also developed paths in addition to their work helping the town maintain its trails. Visit webstertrails.org for maps and rules. — JM

1� CITY • ANNUAL MANUAL 2011

Amongst all the pharmaceutical-hawking spam messages, the tweets about Justin Bieber’s new haircut, and the YouTube comments that make you question your faith in humanity, you can still manage to fi nd plenty of good stuff online. Th e following local blogs, each with a specifi c focus on an aspect of life in Rochester, off er images, information, and opinions that are defi nitely worth a visit. Note that this is just a sampling of local blogs; we welcome you to tell us about your fi nds at the online version of this story at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

JAZZ@ROCHESTERGreg Bell started Jazz@Rochester (jazzrochester.com) partly to learn how to blog. Clearly, it worked: in the six years since he created it, the site has become one of the Top 25 jazz blogs on the web and gets several thousand page impressions a week, Bell says. Bell, a principal attorney editor at Th ompson Reuters, has strengthened his connections in the jazz community, too. “It was kind of a hobby at fi rst, but I now know most of the jazz artists in town and count quite a few of them as friends,” he says. Th e organizers of the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival (which takes over downtown for a week-plus every June) grant him a media pass, and he’s one of the sponsors of Exodus to Jazz, a series of live performances at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation. “Th e thing about live music, especially jazz, is that…that’s really the only time it’s going to happen,” he says. “Th e way jazz is played, because of the improvisation, you’re going to hear it that way, and no one else is going to hear it that way.” Bell says he’s “religious” about his weekly Wednesday posts that list the upcoming week’s jazz gigs. He draws from local listings

as well as information the artists send him themselves — and he posts without prejudice. “If somebody says it’s jazz, I’m OK with it,” he says. “I’m not the jazz police.”

THE ROCHESTER NY PIZZA BLOG Th e blogger behind Th e Rochester NY Pizza Blog (rochesternypizza.blogspot.com) wants to try every non-chain pizza place in the Rochester area — and he’s getting close. “I’m probably about 90 percent there,” says the man, a local attorney who prefers to remain anonymous. (On his blog, he refers to himself as “Pizza Guy.”) Inspired by food blogs like Slice (slice.seriouseats.com), Pizza Guy started the site in 2009. “I think even if I didn’t have the blog, I’d probably be doing this; I’d be going to all these pizzerias anyway,” he says. “I love pizza, and when I like something, I want to try every single one.” Th e blogger posts one to three reviews a week and includes photos, thorough descriptions of his meals, and details about other menu items. He assigns each

restaurant’s pizza a letter grade from A to F. (Only one restaurant so far, a Chinese place, earned a failing grade for its slices.) Th e blog gets about 150 to 200 visits a day, with a spike on Fridays. Once in a while, Pizza Guy says, he gets the urge to make his own pies. “I’ve gotten a lot of respect for people who make pizza,” he says, “because it’s not as easy as it looks.”

ENVIRONMENTAL THOUGHTS Now retired after a 30-year career with the U.S. Postal Service, Frank Regan calls himself a “full-time environmental advocate.” He says he became interested in environmental issues “through philosophy and listening to programs on public broadcasting about the state of our environment.” Regan’s an active member of the Rochester Regional Group of the Sierra Club, leading its zero-waste and transportation committees and serving as the group’s webmaster. He blogs about environmental issues at rochesterenvironmentny.blogspot.com, an off shoot of his website, rochesterenvironment.com, which he created in 1998. Each week, Regan sends out an e-mail newsletter to about 600 subscribers. In his posts, Regan takes national or world environmental issues, such as climate change, and explains how they relate to Rochester. To stay informed and fi nd topics for his daily writings, he keeps up with the latest news, attends numerous meetings, and keeps in contact with environmental groups. Regan hopes his visitors take his message seriously. “I hope they ‘get it,’” he says. “It’s not just another issue.… It’s really the moral responsibility of everybody. Th ey have a responsibility to have an understanding of what’s going on and vote properly.”

PICTUREROCHESTERWhether you’re using a point-and-shoot or a fancy digital SLR, Rochester offers plenty of photo opportunities. Joseph Moroz, the owner and lead photographer at picturerochester.com, knows that firsthand: He’s posted more than 1,500 images on the site, which has gotten more than 475,000 hits. Moroz, who currently works in the architectural and construction fields, started the blog in 2005 with his then-business partner to showcase their photography. He has continued to work on the site because he admires Rochester’s art and architecture and enjoys learning more about the area. “The city is full of history,” he says. To capture shots like his recent photos of Driving Park Bridge, the Little Theatre, and the Eastman Dental Dispensary, Moroz goes out at least three to five times a week. “Typically when I go shooting, I shoot between 100 to 1,500 images a day,” he says. “I’m very detail-oriented; I’ll shoot the same thing 50 different ways.” Moroz, who spends about 10 to 12 hours on the blog each week, hopes that his photographs encourage visitors to take a second look at his city. “I want people to rediscover the city of Rochester,” he says, “and I would like for my website to help.”

ROCHESTER FALCONCAM BLOGS Peregrine falcons have been nesting in Rochester buildings since at least the late 1990’s, first at Kodak headquarters and now at the Times Square and Powers buildings downtown. Falcon fans can get a closer look at these birds and their daily activities with the Rochester Falconcam (rfalconcam.com), which offers streaming video from six cameras. Once a Kodak project, the Falconcam is now run by the Genesee Valley Audubon Society, along with its associated blogs, Imprints (rfalconcam.com/imprinting) and FalconWatch (rfalconcam.com/falconwatching).

falcon-watchers produce FalconWatch. The blogs get about 50,000 visits each year, Pisello says. FalconWatch details the birds’ activities, while Imprints aims to educate, says Pisello, who writes about the birds’ life cycles and behaviors in order to explain “what’s going on behind the pictures,” he says. The blog also updates visitors on annual events like banding day, when the Department of Environmental Conservation places ID bands on the newest falcon chicks. The current birds are Beauty, a female, and Archer, her mate. Lately, says Pisello, a newcomer has been “acting pretty cozy” with Beauty during Archer’s winter migration. “If Archer returns,” he says, “we’ll have a little bit of drama in March.”

ROCWIKI While not exactly a blog itself, RocWiki (rocwiki.org) provides a good foil for the websites above; while each of them deals with a particular part of Rochester, RocWiki covers all that the city has to offer. It’s an extensive online guide to the area, from festivals to newspapers to bakeries. As Pete B., one of the site’s seven volunteer administrators, explains, RocWiki is “free for all, available to all, and also available for anyone to add to it.” While some cities have similar sites, RocWiki — which began in 2005 — is one of the best, says Pete (who declined to give his full name). “We are one of the biggest and one of the most well-known [city-based wikis].” Pete, who works in tech support for an internet-service provider, is the site’s current top editor. Since getting involved in 2006, he’s made more than 25,000 edits, he says. In an average week, he spends five to 10 hours working on the site. During a recent week, RocWiki got 30,156 hits, Pete says. One of its most popular sections is restaurants, where visitors can post comments about their dining experiences. “All pages are available for anyone to update,” he says. “This is our website. It’s not mine, it’s not yours — it’s everyone’s.”

DIGGING BENEATH THE CRUSTA survey of Rochester’s neighborhood pizzerias

[ DINING ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

In his indispensable book “American Pie,” author and baking educator Peter Reinhart embarks upon a hunt for the perfect pizza. But even he acknowledges that a fl awlessly prepared pie often can’t compare to one that is simply, thoroughly satisfying. Because pizza really doesn’t have to be perfect; it can evoke a savory memory, lure friends over for dinner, or merely soak up the booze sloshing around your stomach as you stand over the sink and wolf down a cold slice at 3 a.m. Whatever the circumstance, there’s always a chance that any slice could be the fi nest pizza you’ve ever had. But pizza, as you know, is an extremely personal thing; what rises another guy’s dough might not appeal to you. Th in crust or thick? Red sauce or white? And the toppings — go minimalist or opt for the works? Fortunately, Rochester is brimming with enough pizzerias to satisfy even the fussiest pizzaphile. And while there are a few delicious higher-end places that use buzzy terms like “brick oven” and “wood-fi red,” this article focuses on neighborhood take-out joints, the ones where the grease pooled in the little pepperoni cups is a symbol of love. Th is list is neither comprehensive nor scientifi c; I asked around, ate around, and here is what I came up with. If you have a favorite neighborhood pizza place we didn’t cover, go ahead and tell us about it by commenting on this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

The name may suggest otherwise, but the pie is not an afterthought at Acme Bar and Pizza (495 Monroe Ave, 271-2263), a fairly typical saloon that also boasts an excellent pizza. Th e toppings are pretty standard, and the New York-style slice folds in half beautifully, allowing you to easily balance both your pint and your snack. Acme serves from lunch until 2 a.m., though take-out is available in case your toddler can’t fi nd her fake ID.

If you like your pizzerias established, visit Amico’s Pizza (859 E. Ridge Road, 544-8380, amicopizza.com), which is nearing its 50th year in existence. Th e family-run business sells exactly what you would expect, namely pizza and wings, with a few fried sides. Interesting choices include an eggplant-parm pizza as well as a bianco with tomatoes and fresh basil. But purists should dig the No. 1: homemade sauce covered with ground Pecorino Romano. Th e term “Rochester institution” gets bandied about a little too often, but it almost defi nitely applies to Bay-Goodman Pizza (620 N Winton Road, 288-0730, originalbaygoodman.com), which has risen from the proverbial ashes of its original outpost and multiplied. (Th e second spot is near the House of Guitars on Titus Avenue.) Th is is quintessential Rochester pizza, with a classic sauce and a crust somewhere between New York thin and Sicilian thick. Chances are your Rochester-born parents adored this place. Brandani’s Pizzeria (2595 W. Henrietta Road, 272-7180, brandanispizza.com) has also been kicking around for a while, and in its current location since the mid-80’s.

It serves up specialty pizzas like Philly cheesesteak and Buff alo wing, and caters to the commitmentphobes among us by off ering those by the slice to boot. Oh, and you better bring your sweet tooth; along with pizza fritta, Brandani’s makes its Italian ices and gelati in-house. Fans of Chicago-style pizza ought to seek out Chester Cab Pizza (707 Park Ave, 244-8211, chestercab.com), which goes beyond the mere deep-dish to include a top crust that will seal in any of the 25 topping choices that might tickle your fancy. Th e extensive menu also includes salads, subs, four styles of wings, as well as “Poor Man’s Pizza,” a hearth-baked thin-crust pie for those who just don’t have that much, um, dough. So what if they’re long removed from their namesake Upper Monroe neighborhood? Cobbs Hill Pizza & Pasta (630 Park Ave, 672-3266, cobbshillitalianbistro.com) still does great pizza and all kinds of sandwiches, from wraps to subs to panini. Not in the mood for a pie? Get yourself some rigatoni and homemade sauce; it might be better than your grandma’s, but you can never, ever tell her that. continues on page 18

A PAUL MITCHELL TM FOCUS SALON Dragonfly Pizza Factory (725 Park Ave, 563-6333, dragonflytavern.com) does way more than just pies (in case you need to feed any heathens), but it’s the pizza that gets most of the attention. Whole-wheat crust is available for a little extra, and the specialty pies are inspired. Try the Greek pizza with feta and kalamata olives, or embrace carbohydrates with the mac-n-cheese pizza. May as well top it with bacon... I still remember this one particular pie I had from Little Venice Pizza (742 South Ave, 473-6710, littlevenicepizza.net) back in the late 80’s; it was white garlic, with broccoli and sausage, and I had never tasted such awesome pizza before. Little Venice is still at it, now in a larger space down the street from its original location, and though it offers other items like a fish fry and the ubiquitous Rochester-style “plate,” it’s still all about memorable pizza. Martusciello’s Bakery (2280 Lyell Ave, 247-0510, martusciellos.com) is pretty renowned around here for its fantastic bread, so it should come as no surprise that it does pizza as well. Order a pie to go or walk in and try to choose from the tempting display of personal pizzas. Want a preview? The website offers a mouthwatering virtual tour. Those who require a gluten-free pie probably already have Nick’s Deli and Pizza (1098 Chili-Coldwater Road, 247-6270, nicksdeliandpizza.com) on their radar; Nick’s even sells packages of unadorned gluten-free pizza shells to take home. But of course Nick’s does a conventional white-flour pizza, like the quattro stagioni: separate quadrants of artichoke, olive, prosciutto, and sausage. Although it also makes a thinner crust, Nino’s Pizzeria (1330 Culver Road, 482-2264, ninospizzeriarochester.com), is justly famed for its thick-crusted focaccia pizza, which it has been turning out since 1973. No weirdo toppings here; just fresh, traditional offerings that many devotees of the Sicilian style swear is the area’s best. In my unofficial poll, however, the victor was clear: Pizza Stop (123 State St., 546-7252) is consistently held up as the finest New York-style pizza in Rochester. Toppings are customary (mmm... cherry peppers!) and

PIZZERIAS continues from page 16


properly hot ovens give the crust a tasty char, which you can also see when you fold the hot slice in half to cram into your mouth. Keep in mind that Pizza Stop locks its doors at 5:30 p.m. (7 p.m. on Fridays) and closes for the weekend, so plan ahead!

LOCAL PIZZA CHAINSChain establishments often get an unfair rap. People are so busy accusing them of corporate whoredom that they ignore one obvious fact: businesses expand because they’re doing something right. But you can still feel good about buying local with a few of our hometown pizza chains. Pontillo’s Pizzeria (pontillospizza.com) has been around for more than 60 years; now with 23 locations, its pie is what a lot of Rochesterians grew up on. (Around these parts the kids teethe on pizza bones, a/k/a leftover crust.) The Fantauzzo family has operated Salvatore’s Old-Fashioned Pizzeria (salvatores.com) since 1978, and its 21 shops famously “deliver everything... but babies!” Marvin Mozzeroni’s (whatareuhungryfor.com) was known as Starvin’ Marvin’s until a couple years ago; now with five stores, its newest one is nestled at the primo corner of Park and Oxford. Once a hidden gem, Guida’s Pizzeria (guidaspizzeria.com) has expanded to five locations over the last 16 years, becoming a yummy force to be reckoned with.

Some people might think that Rochester’s public art begins and ends with ARTWalk in the Neighborhood of the Arts, the horses on parade (remember those?), and those polarizing benches. But there have been many neighborhood art projects, as well as public and private commissions of local artists, plus works of art created randomly here and there. When I began research for this piece, I thought I would cover the notables and uncover a few gems, but I honestly had no idea of the extent of Rochester’s ever-shifting outdoor art. Public-art installation in this city has gone hand-in-hand with eff orts to improve neighborhoods and add a visual representation of communities’ identities, whether funded or embarked upon independently. Th e following are highlights, but for a more comprehensive list, visit local photographer Richard Margolis’ rochesterpublicart.com.

NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECTSARTWalk (University Avenue, from School of the Arts to Culver Road) Th is collection of sculptures, including a whimsical cat by Vincent Massaro at Merriman Street, mosaic-covered light poles, sculptural benches, and artistic bus-stop shelters (like Nancy Gong’s “Engineers Have Fun Too” work of etched glass in front of Gleason Works), is a multi-artist collaboration that got its origin when former Mayor Bill Johnson challenged city neighborhoods to come up with 10-year plans for themselves. Th e Atlantic-University Neighborhood renamed itself Neighborhood of the Arts, and there are plans to expand ARTWalk in the future. For updates check rochesterartwalk.org.Parking Meter Totems/Traffi c Control Box Paintings (South Avenue from Mount Hope to Highland avenues) A host of artists have created sculptures to top former parking-meter poles

in the South Wedge neighborhood, and many others were commissioned to create paintings on drab utility boxes. Scattered in South Wedge neighborhood (and other neighborhoods, including the 19th Ward), the painted boxes vary from colorful and abstract, to homages to important fi gures from Rochester’s history, most notably Kevin Fitch’s Frederick Douglass at the intersection of Main, West, and Chili avenues, and Stephen Dorobiala’s Son House painting at the corner of South Avenue and Gregory Street. For more information visit baswa.org.

SCULPTUREThe Liberty Pole (Intersection of East Avenue, East Main and Franklin streets) Th e current steel sculpture is actually the third liberty pole to have graced our city; it was designed by local architect James H. Johnson, and erected in 1965. Th e original wooden pole was built in 1846 but eventually toppled, and the second was destroyed in a storm December 26, 1889. Th e current one seems to be having better luck, although it is often criticized as nothing more than an eyesore (except when it’s strung with cascading lines of pretty white lights

each holiday season). Th e site is also used as a meeting ground and space for protests and rallies. Visit thelibertypole.org for fascinating history on liberty poles as well as photos.Horses/Benches on Parade (Various locations around the city and county) Th e imaginative alterations made by artists to these fi berglass fi llies and seats range as widely as their locations around town. Th e High Falls Brewery Company sponsored the original charitable community-arts project, for which more than 150 horses were created and sold to business and private residences in 2001. Th e artsy equines are currently displayed on front lawns, and at local businesses and organizations. My favorite horse home is the balcony of Monroe High School at 164 Alexander St. Th e 2009 benches project was presented by Nazareth College and produced by Dixon Schwabl, in which 200 benches were decorated by area artists, and auctioned off to raise funds for local non-profi ts. For a complete list of locations and photos of the horses and benches, visit lowerfalls.org/horses (some links don’t work, so click on the lists by artist, horse name, or site) and benchesonparade.com.

Seat of Forgetting and Remembering (Near the bluff of the Lower Falls) Four monoliths ring a central seat, covered in sculptured hands and faces. The piece was created in 2001 by Adriana Ippel Slutzky, a sculptor and art educator who taught at the Rochester School for the Deaf.Port of Rochester (4791 Lake Avenue) Includes “Another Little Adventure,” leaded glass panel work by Nancy Gong, and metal fish sculptures by Paul Knobloch.

Anthony and friends’ act of voting illegally.“Genesee Passage” (1 Bausch & Lomb Place) Soaring steel sculpture by Albert Paley. His other monolithic work in Rochester includes the Main Street Bridge railings, the Millennium Bench on the Memorial Art Gallery’s front lawn, “Sentinel” at Rochester Institute of Technology, “Threshold” at Klein Steel Corporation (105 Vanguard Way), an untitled steel wheel at the National Museum of Play, and of course, the gorgeous gates at Village Gate.

MURALSMurals are a trickier subject to pin down in this town — they are numerous, and they pop up and get painted over regularly. Some are commissioned by arts organizations and neighborhoods, others are commissioned by smaller businesses, and still others are created independently (and sometimes

illegally). Most of the following are accessible to viewers, but beware of trespassing signs at some painted sites.The “Legal Wall” (Behind the Village Gate, along the train tracks) This one-time free-for-all spot for area spray-painters to express themselves is now off-limits, but the work remains (and still changes, despite the legality being revoked).Water Towers (Near Cobb’s Hill Park, 475 Norris Drive) More graffiti work; look for the Mario Bros. scene.Black Vampire Bart Simpson (Genesee Street and Columbia Avenue) It’s worth checking out.Merchants Road Mural (At Merchants and Culver Road) Rick Muto’s creation celebrates the neighborhood with a cheerful scene; also see his Rose Garden and Rochester history mural at the post office at Lexington and Dewey Avenue.Romaire Bearden-esque found-material mural (Wilson Commencement Park

So it’s Friday night and maybe you’re in Rochester for a work conference, or maybe you live here and just want to go someplace new. Th is city has no lack of bars and clubs — and there are plenty more watering holes in the suburbs as well — although a majority of them tend to be clustered around certain neighborhoods. Below you’ll fi nd a breakdown of some of Rochester’s most reliable nightlife districts. Th ese are neighborhoods where you could conceivably show up without a plan and bar or club hop all night long. Note that this is in no way intended to be a comprehensive look at all the bars and clubs in the city, or even in the neighborhoods mentioned. It’s just a place to start your average night of debauchery. If we missed your favorite local bar of club, post it to this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

THE EAST ENDTh e East End is Rochester’s premier nightlife district, with a heavy concentration of diff erent kinds of bars, clubs, and other hangouts dotting East Avenue from Alexander Street up to Main Street. Th e area around East & Alexander is more club-driven and has historically attracted a younger crowd (20s and 30s). Establishments in this area can open or close, or change names and owners rapidly, so there’s almost always some new bar or club to check out on any given weekend. Still, there are some reliable standbys. The Old Toad (277 Alexander St., 232-2626, theoldtoad.com) is an English pub staff ed by actual British foreign-exchange students. Monty’s Korner (355 East Ave., 263-7650) and Blue Room (293 Alexander St., 730-5985, blueroomrochester.com) are more standard bars, while across the

street Murphy’s Law Irish Pub (370 East Ave., 232-7115, murphyslawrochester.com) packs in the crowds for both food and drink. Anchor Bar (355 East Ave., 861-6475, anchorbarrochesterny.com) is renowned for its beer and wing selection. Pearl Night Club (349 East Ave., 325-5660) is a dance club/lounge that brings in out-of-town DJs for special events. Another large dance club, Vinyl (291 Alexander St., 325-7998), spins mostly tunes from 80’s and 90’s, while One Restaurant & Lounge (1 Ryan Alley, 546-1010, oneryan.com) mixes upscale dining with a metropolitan after-hours club, including multiple DJs on its multiple fl oors. Dub Land Underground (315 Alexander St., 232-7550) hosts all kinds of eclectic live-music shows and art events. Further up East Avenue you’ll fi nd more traditional bars, such as Matthew’s East End Grill (200 East Ave., 454-4280, matthewseastendgrill.com), Easy on East (170 East Ave., 325-6490), Temple Bar & Grill (109 East Ave., 232-6000, templebarandgrille.com), and Salinger’s (107 East Ave., 546-6880, salingersrochester.com). For something diff erent, check out Havana Moe’s (125 East Ave., 325-1030), a cigar shop and bar. And if you’re of the teetotaler set, coff eehouses like Java’s (16 Gibbs St., 232-4820, javascafe.com) and Spot Coffee (200 East Ave., 613-4600, spotcoff ee.com) are typically jumping, and a good place to see and be seen.

MONROE AVENUEMonroe Avenue’s bars have lots of character, and attract lots of characters. Start off at the iconoclastic Bug Jar (219 Monroe Ave., 454-2966, bugjar.com), with its bizarre décor and steady string of quality local and national indie-rock shows. Moving away from downtown, Woody’s (250 Monroe Ave., 730-8230, woodysonmonroe.com), Marshall Street Bar and Grill (81 Marshall St., 325-2191, marshallstreetbarandgrill.com), O’Callaghan’s Pub (470 Monroe Ave., 271-7190, ocalls-pub.com), The Park Bench (439 Monroe Ave.), The Sports Page (499 Monroe Ave., 271-8460), and Acme Bar & Pizza (495 Monroe Ave., 271-2263) focus on serving up bar food and drink. Across the street is The Avenue Pub (522 Monroe Ave., 244-4960), one of Rochester’s oldest gay bars. New to the neighborhood are Lucky’s Saloon (373 S Goodman St.) and Rehab Lounge (510 Monroe Ave., 442-9165). In addition to having a great name, Enright’s Thirst Parlor (582 Monroe Ave., 271-0170) starts serving at 8 a.m. daily. Lola Bistro &

Rochester is unquestionably a sports town. Th e city has its own minor-league baseball, hockey, basketball, and lacrosse squads, and a host of amateur teams in a variety of other sports. And we’re not all spectators: Rochester has a wealth of sports leagues for people looking to get in on the action. Sure, we’ve got your typical soccer, softball, bowling, and volleyball groups. But the Greater Rochester area is also host to more off -beat organizations. Disc golf, table tennis, roller derby — whatever tickles your sports-and-recreation fancy, you can probably fi nd other Rochesterians gathering somewhere, sometime to give it a try. Below are just a few of the unique sports leagues in Rochester. If you’d like suggest other off -beat activities, leave your comments on this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

KICKBALLTh e Kickball League of Rochester started in the fall of 2007 with 45 people and just four teams. When play ended last season it had grown to 236 teams accommodating more than 5000 players. Ryan Kimball, founder and owner of the league, decided to start an offi cial group for the popular grade-school sport after “kicking around the idea for a while,” he says. Kimball says that league play closely resembles that of fourth-grade recess, except without the fear of being picked last (and with more beer). It’s also a great way to enjoy the parks of Rochester, he says. Th e league usually plays at Genesee Valley Park on Elmwood Avenue, on the seven dirt fi elds and 13 self-made grass fi elds, with games typically taking place every weekday. Th e spring league runs April through June, summer is June through August, fall is August to October, and the league even

plays in the winter, between December and February — the more snow the merrier, says Kimball. Players of all skill levels are welcome, but must be 21 and over. Memberships cost $15-$30 per person, based on the number of weeks you play. Also, $10 will be donated to a local charity for every team that registers. Kimball has a strong interest in giving back to the community while simultaneously expanding social networks and keeping the league’s “let’s have fun” rule a top priority. For more information, including registration and schedules, visit rockickball.net.

DISC GOLFMuch like regular golf, the object of disc golf is to complete each hole in the fewest tries. Each hole has a par, and the only diff erence is that instead of whacking a tiny ball into a slightly-less-tiny hole, in this sport you throw a disc into a big metal basket. Th e Greater Rochester Disc Golf Club runs a league that begins in mid-April and runs for 20 weeks. Its members play Th ursdays at 6 p.m. on the eight various

courses throughout Rochester. It costs $25 to join the club, and you even get a t-shirt, towel, and backpack. To get started, head to your local sporting-goods store and grab a disc for $8-$15. But don’t just grab your average Frisbee; disc-golf discs are smaller in diameter and denser. Th ere are more than 100 diff erent kinds of discs, but the three most important are drivers, midrange, and putters. Th e diff erence is in the edge of the disc; drivers have a sharper edge for better wind penetration, while putters are blunter for improved control, but less distance. Beginners are welcome to join, and while the sport is usually played as singles, this league plays doubles to increase speed of play and allow for a less stressful game. And with two teams to a hole, you often play with a more experienced team and have a chance to pick up a few tips. “A lot of newer people have greatly improved through our club by joining the league,” says Club President Ryan Hand. “It kind of allows the league also to be a developmental league.”

Hand enjoys getting outside to play the game, and also the fact that it only takes about an hour to play 18 holes — much faster than ball golf. Rochester is developing into a disc-golf mecca. At the end of July, the club will host the 2011 Amateur and Junior Disc Golf World Championships (check pdga.com), with an anticipated 600-700 golfers coming to town. Time to start practicing. For more information about the club, including course maps and schedules, visit grdgc.org.

ROLLER DERBYIf you spent your childhood roller skating on the sidewalk, relive your youth with a little more intensity by joining the Roc City Roller Derby. This league has been around since 2008 and is recognized as an apprentice league by the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (wftda.com). It currently includes more than 100 women split over three home teams: the 5-H8-5’s, Rotten Chesters, and Midtown Maulers. Roller derby is played with two teams on a track. Each team has four blockers and one jammer. The jammer’s job is to score points by passing opposing players, and the blockers try to stop the opposing jammer and help their own. The game is played in two 30-minute halves and is broken up into two-minute jams. Colette Blais has been a member of the league for three years and plays as a blocker. “The opportunities for women to be in full-contact sports are pretty limited,” she says. “To have an organized, full-contact sports team that’s just women is completely different.” Blais enjoys both the camaraderie and competitiveness the league has to offer. Every fall, a boot camp is held for new players — or as the seasoned derby players refer to them, “fresh meat.” The boot camp includes several weeks of basic training in techniques like stops, falls, turns, and agility. Once a player passes the assessment to stay with the league, they go into the “Roc Quarry” and continue to practice and learn

more advanced techniques until they are drafted onto one of the home teams. Dues cost $40 per month, and each player must also purchase her own gear, which Blais estimates to be about $300 for items like skates, pads, and the signature fishnet stockings. For more information on tryouts, or for this season’s schedule, visit rocderby.com.

TABLE TENNISWhen Mary Beth MacClaren’s 9-year-old son starting playing ping-pong competitively, she could only sit and watch for so long. Now, she is secretary of the non-profit board and tournament director for Genesee Valley Table Tennis Club. While MacClaren just plays for fun, there are many who take the game more seriously and have bigger plans with the sport. League member Mike Brown’s goal is to play for the national paralympic team. “It’s the best thing that’s going for me,” he says. Brown plays table tennis four times a week and is headed to Milwaukee in July to qualify for the national team. Leagues run Monday through Wednesday at the Rochester Sports Garden (1460 East Henrietta Road), and there is open play on Saturdays morning and afternoons. Players range in age from 7 to 82. “It’s really a sport that works for everybody,” MacClaren says. “The more competitive players and a lot of the junior players play like what you see on ESPN.” Membership for Saturday play is at most $135 per year, depending on when you join. Playing in a league runs $225 for September through April, or $60 for June through August. For more information visit gvttc.com.

DARTSIf you see a group of friends throwing darts at your local bar, they might be playing for kicks. Or they might just be playing in the Genesee Valley Darts Association. However, even the GVDA is careful not to take the sport too seriously. “We’re really a social league with a dart problem,” says Jon Karnisky, the current league vice president. The GVDA has been supporting and promoting the sport of steel-tipped darts

in the Greater Rochester area since the late 1970’s. There are currently about 300 members and 31 teams in the league. No matter your level of dart-throwing expertise (or lack thereof ), you can still join at one of the five different skill divisions, ranging from novice to expert. For serious players, the GVDA runs qualifiers for the American Dart Organization (adodarts.com) to send people to regional play, where they can then qualify for national play. The best time for new members to join the GVDA is at the end of May, when the summer season begins. But you can also head to one of the various participating bars before that and meet the players. President Dave DeBruyne has met a lot of friends through the league, and one particularly important acquaintance. “I met my wife playing darts,” he says. “So that’s score one for darts, I guess.” Dues for the summer season are only $5, and the whole year costs $30. For more information, including a current schedule of matches and participating bars, visit thegvda.org.

Th e North Star. Smugtown. Rochesterville. Bygone names — and some names that have stuck — conjure a rich image of Rochester’s heritage that is not always apparent at fi rst glance of our city. While our daily lives keep us moving forward, who walked this same ground before us, and what happened here? Answers and artifacts of Rochester’s past await exploration in the tiniest of places: the museums dedicated to the many facets of our local history. Th ere are literally dozens of specialized historical museums in the Greater Rochester area. Here are just a few to add to your radar. Spot the little “Museum Open” sign on Humboldt Street and you will have found Rochester Medical Museum and Archives (333 Humboldt St., 922-1847, rochestergeneral.org/archives), a collection chronicling the history of health care in Rochester, particularly at Rochester General (once Rochester City Hospital) and Genesee hospitals. Photographs, uniforms, and documents reveal the hospitals’ signifi cance and their early infl uential strides in the fi eld of nursing. In fact, the American Journal of Nursing originated in Rochester. Rotating exhibits off er both big-picture perspective and detailed insight to this aspect of local history. Th e gorgeous Fairport Historical Museum (18 Perrin St., 223-3989, perintonhistoricalsociety.org) resides in the village’s former library, complete with card catalogs. View the striking 1938 Carl Peters mural, or plunge through genealogy resources, rare maps, scrapbooks, and lot-transfer records to trace Perinton property and family lineage. Period ephemera provide a glimpse of bygone daily life while showcasing Fairport’s canal days of innovation and industry, including George

Cobb’s perfection of the solderless can to preserve food. While Fairport was leading the United States in sanitary canning, Webster supplied the crops. See vintage brands of “evaporated” fruits in Mrs. Witmer’s Store display at the Webster Museum (18 Lapham Park, 265-3308, webstermuseum.org). Volunteer Carol Saylor emphasizes the role of agriculture during the time of Webster’s 1840 incorporation: “Webster’s greatest industry for the rest of the 19th century — and into the 20th — was apples.” Apples bore other fruits of industry as well, including the Webster Basket Company, whose fl y wheel sits outside the museum. Currently, the museum is compiling oral histories from those who remember the area’s rural roots. Other exhibits include a charming replica of a 22-seat 19th-century school room (complete with dunce cap) and vintage devices from another Webster industry: Xerox. Brushed gunmetal-cased electronics are right at home at the Antique Wireless Association Museum in East Bloomfi eld (2 South Ave, 657-6260,

antiquewirelessmuseum.com). Hear the sounds of old-time radio pump through period speakers, and relive the birth and evolution of radio communications and entertainment. Valuable originals are on view alongside interactive pieces, from the classic NBC chime to the sci-fi Jacob’s ladder and Tesla coil. Th e current displays only feature 15 percent of the museum’s collection, so plans are set for a new facility and research center to open in 2013, complete with an Art Deco Spartan radio facade where visitors will enter through the dial. A perfect companion to the AWA Museum is the Sunshine Radio Museum in Sodus (8 E Main St, 315-483-8451, sunshineradiomuseum.org), which takes particular interest in the human component of radio. Director Ray Seppeler has a glint in his eye when he shares his knowledge and experience of radio’s golden age. See the storefront showroom’s free display of vintage radios typically found in the American home starting in the mid-1920’s, or arrange a custom tour of the detailed upstairs museum at a special rate — ideally for groups, to encourage shared stories.

Nostalgia is a certain draw for visitors, especially at the Jell-O Gallery in Le Roy (23 E Main St., 768-7433, jellomuseum.com). See how the “dainty dessert” formed and cooled in 1897, with unexpected sociological implications. “Jell-O democratized an elitist food,” says Lynne Belluscio, director of the gallery and nearby Historic Le Roy House. Of course, most just come for the fun: see fascinating ad campaigns (including original oil still-lifes of Jell-O molds), memorabilia (check out Jell-O Fun Barbie and Jell-O casual wear for Ken), and classic “Jell-O-mercials.” Cast a vote for your favorite flavor, and find out which flavors didn’t set properly (celery, anyone?). It’s fanciful to imagine Jell-O boxes on the shelves of William Phelps General Store & Home, one of four museums that make up Historic Palmyra (132 Market St., 315-597-6981, historicpalmyrany.com). In fact, Palmyra’s role in history is a revelation to any visitor; just walk through the interactive Palmyra Print Shop to see how Palmyra influenced the world’s print industry. The nearby Palmyra Historical Museum, a 19th century hotel and tavern, shows Palmyra’s significant connections to American history — even to Winston Churchill. Notice the coverlet in the bedroom reminding you that a block away stands the Alling Coverlet Museum. This is the largest collection of hand-woven coverlets in the United States, where you’ll find looms, spinning wheels, jacquards (and their surprising link to computers), a quilt room, and an unusual gift shop. The gift shop is a highlight of any museum. Browse the tiny gift shop at the Charlotte Genesee Lighthouse Museum (70 Lighthouse St., 621-6179, geneseelighthouse.org) to find lighthouse-themed anything. In the museum, see a 19th-century nautical map of Lake Ontario and a timeline of Charlotte’s history, which includes the once-bustling Ontario Beach Park and the Ontario II — yes, the passenger ferry to Canada that operated a century ago. Climb the 42



steps of the Medina sandstone tower, and find out why it’s so far from the lake. Get your special passport stamped and continue your lighthouse adventure at the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum (7606 N. Ontario St., 315-483-4936, soduspointlighthouse.org). From Charlotte, the Genesee Riverway Trail takes you to High Falls, in the center of downtown. Visit the Center at High Falls (60 Browns Race, 325-2030, centerathighfalls.org) in one of Rochester’s most significant historic districts. Open year-round, the Center is what director Sally Wood Winslow describes as “a gateway attraction, highlighting Rochester’s history, geography, commerce, and culture.” See the 10,000-year glacial formation of the Genesee River elapse in seconds; hear brief biographies of dozens of Rochester notables; and ride a virtual taxi to Rochester attractions. Then, return at night for gallery openings exhibiting contemporary art of local interest. While downtown, make the essential Rochester stops: the Susan B. Anthony House (17 Madison St., 235-6124, susanbanthony.org) and nearby Frederick Douglass Resource Center (36 King St, 325-9190, frederickdouglassrc.com). Much of Rochester’s history is told through its evolution of transit at the New York Museum of Transportation in Rush (6393 East River Road, 533-1113, nymtmuseum.org). Examine and explore authentic rail cars, and most any other form of land transportation. Check out the interactive HO-gauge layout in the model train room, right next to a miniaturized running replica of the old Rochester subway line. Outside, the only trolley line in New York State will take you on a scenic ride to the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum (533-1431, rgvrrm.org). Don’t forget those engines that run in the air. See them up close at the 1�41 Historic Aircraft Group Museum in Geneseo (3489 Big Tree Lane, 243-2100, 1941hag.org). The museum hangar is packed with an impressive fleet, including the famous Boeing B-17 “Flying Fortress” featured in the movie “Memphis Belle.” Be prepared for a kind of

shock and awe as you step over the bomb-bay doors and into the turret — it’s not the sort of perspective you get every day. The museum also hosts a huge historic air show every July. There would be no Geneseo Air Show if the Holland Land Purchase never took place in the 1790’s. The sweeping 3.3 million acres west of the Genesee became what we now call Western New York. How was it acquired, and why in Batavia? Find out at the Holland Land Office Museum (131 W Main St., Batavia, 343-4727, hollandlandoffice.com), where director Jeff Donahue is alight with stories beyond the exhibits — and behind the people who shaped history. Be sure to ask him why railroad watches are so important. Someone who could appreciate a good timepiece was Augustus L. Hoffman, a Newark watchmaker who opened the Hoffman Clock Museum in 1954 (121 High St. Newark, 315-331-4370, hoffmanclockmuseum.org). The museum is a permanent wing of the Newark library, featuring “horological artifacts” from mostly the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many styles of luxurious carved wood-cased clocks fill the rooms, as do curious tools and machinery. Once inside, a person can both lose and gain a sense of time. The Rochester area is full of small niche museums, and this is only a small sampling of our offbeat and sometimes undetected treasures. For a more extensive list of local historical museums, check out the guide attached to this article online at rochestercitynewpaper.com.

ExpertADVICE

Occupation: Artist/Sculptor

Neighborhood/town: Brighton (Ellison Park area)

Most�beautiful�place�in�Rochester? It’s a tie between spring at the Highland Park rhododendron/azaleas area and winter cross-country skiing at Durand-Eastman Park.

favorite�restaurants? The Owl House, breakfast at Country Club Diner on East Ave., and Brown Hound Bistro in Naples for special occasions.

favorite�entertainment�groups/spots? Johnny’s Irish Pub on Tuesday to hear String Theory, and the Little Theatre for jazz, art, and films. As an artist, I must give credit to Lux Lounge as a spot for fun, good dialogue with a diverse crowd.

favorite�spot�for�a�date? An evening moonrise on the west shore of Mendon Ponds Park’s Hundred-Acre Pond with my wife, Terri.

Best�thing�to�do�on�a�friday�night�in�Rochester? First Friday art openings.

advice�for�those�new�to�Rochester: Check out the following: Rochester’s award-winning Public Market, music and art venues, educational institutions, and all that they offer. Lake Ontario shores with its fruit tree orchards, the nearby wilderness areas of Hemlock and Canadice lakes, and Finger Lakes gorges, hikes, and wineries.

“What I want to talk about is the various ways God’s Spirit gets worked into our lives. God’s Various gifts are

handed out everywhere; but theyall originate in God’s Spirit. God’s various ministries are carried out

everywhere; but they all originate in God’s Spirit. God’s various expressions

of power are in action everywhere; but God himself is behind it all.”

(1 CORINTHIANS 12:1, 4-9)
