Skate Rochester. |  |
Mayor Duffy is a meany. I Still Love Ferrys. |
 |
Forget
about Monroe and Park Avenue. Lyell Ave is the heart of Rochester.
It took me a long time to come to this realization. Take A Stroll Down Lyell Ave. |
 |
We don't even own a dog but we wouldn't miss the Weiner Dog Parade |
 |
There
are Indian reservations all over New York State and Rochester is surrounded
by them. Some desperate politicians want to put one in downtown Rochester. See "I Want My Money Back" |
 |
Sam
is our hero. He documents everything. His web site bookmark favorites
are a country mile long and there is a link to his list here. Our Motto |
 |
Lydia
Lunch, Wendy O Williams and Chyna are all from Rochester. That might
tell you something about this place but I'm not sure what that would
be. |
 |
Occasionally
we leave Rochester and sometimes we even cross New York State lines. Trippin' Out Index |
 |
I
can understand why woman would want to hustle through a bridge underpass
like this but if I'm on foot I like to take my time and look at
the walls. We have photos from the underside of four different Rochester
bridges. |
 |
Sparky
is my neighbor. I had this idea to collect Sparky episodes. real
incidents and things he really told us happened. That was the easy
part. I plan to illustrate these someday. Visit Sparky.com |
 |
It
occurred to us that with a name like theRefrigerator we simply had
to review food. So we started with a few things like Italian Ice
from Gitano's over on Waring Road and olives form Olindo's Importers
out on Lyell Avenue and hominy from Tops Friendly markets. |
 |
Publishing
tools on everyone's desktop. Do it yourself style graphics are everywhere.
We love it! Everyone Is A Designer |
 |
We
are partial to cats. Refrigerator readers can send us a photo of
their cat and we will post it. Frank Petronio sent this one. |
 |
Our
nephews create their own little worlds with their tiny toy trucks
and when they get really wound up they start riding over other trucks
and anything in sight, The scale is the only that was different
at the Blue Cross Arena. Monster Trucks |
 |
Small
churches are springing up all over Rochester but they aren't new
buildings. They are in old storefronts and small abandoned buildings
and in some cases, houses. They have names like "First Harvest"
and" Bride Of Christ." |
 |
Bees are great for the garden but they can cause some real damage if they start working on your house. Sometimes they are just a nuisance. But Bee Careful |
 |
It
was only noon and it was hot and sunny, not exactly Italian Restaurant
weather. We will have to check back with this place. Rochester is
the "Italian Restaurant Capitol of the World" |
 |
We're
hoping we see a new crop of candidates and secret service
men when they swing through town. We caught Hillary and Mr. McCain
last time around. Vote, please |
 |
You
could take a camera with you as you walk around your neighborhood
and snap photos of ordinary stuff. Most of the photo in this section
were taken around Rochester but we occasionally get out out town
with our camera. |
 |
Our
nephew was in town with his global positioning device. We found the North Pole |
 |
All
football fans know that Buffalo Bills fans are a special breed.
The Bills do their summer training in Rochester and the New York
State thruway is jammed with Rochester fans heading to Ralph Wilson
(the Ralph) Stadium on Sundays in the fall. We caught a Bills/Bears
game las t year and documented the adventure. |
 |
I
think I know that guy. He is on the front of a refrigerator that one
of our readers sent us. Send us a photo of your refrigerator |
 |
Break
Dancing never went away, We were eating at Lorraine's over on Culver
and a dj was setting up. Next thing you know we rockin' to the Sugarhill
Gang. Good thing I had my camera |

Susan
B Anthony and Frederick Douglas were both buried in Mount Hope Cemetery.
Their gravestones are modest. Some people go down in style |
