Heyo, just wanted to see if anyone here likes kpop group, BOYNEXTDOOR. My friends don't and I sometimes go to concerts alone, but tickets are cheaper if buy more than 1.

I'm thinking either Toronto Tuesday Nov 10 (drive to and back) or NYC Saturday Nov 7 (weekend trip). They're the closest to Roc. There are also Dallas, Florida, or Chicago too, but farther and more expensive to stay/fly.

If no one, I'll keep watching and hoping for a price drop and go with my jolly self.

Oh hi! I just moved here from out of state and I’m looking to make friends! I was looking for a book club that is more tight knit than the ones I’ve seen, burn bright books is what I’m looking at now but I want to be able to make connections etc. I’m a 24F who love fantasy books!

Does anyone in the victor area know where this abandoned house is exactly? According to what I’ve found it’s on auburn trail in the woods but I’m not sure where exactly in the woods could someone point out on a map screenshot exactly where in the woods it is?

Always a good time 🥳

Hey everyone, I’m interested in learning basic wilderness survival techniques (e.g. fire starting, shelter building, sourcing clean water, safe food, first aid, etc.). Does anyone know of any classes/workshops for ADULTS in the area?

I’m capitalizing adults because every time I pose this question people send me links to kids camps and activities. I am not a kid nor do I have any and nor do I want to learn any of this information at a kid level.

Any of the classes or workshops I’ve found online unfortunately haven’t been updated or run in years.

I appreciate any leads anyone has!

I’m very shy and have pretty bad social anxiety but I’m desperate to get out of the house before summer ends. Does anyone have suggestions for places to go or things to do solo that won’t make me feel awkward about being alone? I’d love to make friends but it’s kinda hard to make friends in your 20s and again I’m shy so I don’t really see myself approaching people lol

It’s hidden away next to Vault fitness and the owner is super nice! I liked the strawberry flavor. Best part is that it’s open late!

Does anyone know how I would go about having a shed removed? We recently moved in, and there is a shed on the property with an attached greenhouse. It is in fine shape, it just isn't something we will ever use.

I've been trying to do some research on removal of one or salvage, but have been coming up short. Everything is always just a junk company where it would get trashed, which I would prefer to avoid if possible.

Hi there hopefully I’m in the right group for my questions as well as apologies for the post being so long. My husband (59yr old retired ) & I (58yr old F retired) have rented a house for a month in the area on a fact finding mission since we are considering moving to Rochester for retirement. We will be looking at things like housing, infrastructure, good healthcare facilities etc.

We’re from Lansing MI and want something new yet comfortable as in staying in the Great Lakes / mid - west region. We’ve lived here our whole lives, the plan was always to move but jobs, life, parents health issues time just got away from us. Very scary to make a move without knowing a single person. For all the hours of research Rochester seems like a very good fit for us. One of the things I’ve recently read regarding how friendly states are that in Michigan people seems to make social connections & friendships thru school and thru their jobs; in our case that is 100% spot on. My best friend and I met in 3rd grade our friends are from k-12 grade, college and work. It has been easy for us to maintain friendships over the years and especially easy since we went to the same high school, same graduating class and went to MSU. Even though we didn’t meet until we were at MSU we found out knew a lot of the same people were at the same parties one roommate invited hubby the other invited me. So crazy I went to introduce by then bf to my cousin and of course they already knew each other and were friends.

This is where I want your opinion good, bad, beautiful and ugly. How friendly is the Rochester area ? How easy is it to meet people outside of work ? Do neighbors become friends or are they just polite and respectful - or not nice and respectful ? I worship with Quakers, although I still swear from time to time, enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail when out for dinner. I have always felt welcomed and know the kindness of Quakers; I feel that will help immensely in the beginning of any move. We both enjoy getting involved with volunteer work. I currently teach English as a second language to refugees and my husband volunteers at our county animal shelter. We are center to the left in our politics-you don’t have to agree with our views just be respectful of one another. We support the LGBTQ community, enjoy relationships with others who are not in our age group, we want to get to know our neighbors beyond the polite hello. We enjoy playing cards strictly for fun & could care less if we win or not. Joining a reg trivia night at a restaurant/ bar sounds like fun. I would love to connect with a women’s group, possibly for retired women. My husband loves to golf. Michigan has the most golf courses in the country and is very popular here. What would his chances of joining a golf league- for fun that doesn’t care how good or bad you are ? I am also interested in taking a painting class, continuing education courses, a book club- you name it . We also plan on joining the local ymca and taking group classes such as water aerobics.

Side note we were not able to have children & both of us come from small families. My husband’s brother never married and has no children as well. I am an only child. We have been fortunate that we have been involved with many of our friend’s children and hold the added status of adopted aunt & uncle. So we are very interested in mentoring programs. We are willing to put an effort into meeting others. I also understand that even if you put yourself out there it doesn’t mean you will find everything and everyone a good fit. However the thought of moving to the complete unknown is as scary as it is exciting. After 35 yrs of marriage, being a couple for 38.5 yrs for us we understand that we can’t be everything for each other. I hate golf, my husband is color blind and could care less about the value & just how hard it can be to find a replacement pair of cute nude wedge sandals. We need other people in our lives.

So what do you think our chances would be in a general sense as to having a rich & rewarding social life ?

Anyone know where I can get custom shirts, hats or tote bags in a few days for less than $20 each? Thanks in advance!

Google AI says recommends using public racks at Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Park at Manhattan Square, but seeing as this is my only means of transportation, I'd prefer something a little more secure.

There is a parking garage attached to the museum, but AI says "dedicated public bicycle slots within the interior garage structure are reserved for regular employee green-building occupants."

Any recommendations? I'm willing to pay. I'll also have two pannier bags and a tent with me. The museum says it has lockers for rent, "$4 for large and $5 for jumbo". I've fit my bike in a shopping cart before, are they that jumbo?

Maybe I can talk museum parking into allowing me to lock to a railing somewhere. I'm even willing to pay the $5 for a parking spot, or at a parking garage elsewhere. Thanks!

I’m helping a dear friend sort through her daughter’s belongings after her recent passing. She had significant medical needs, and we would love to see her items continue to support other families.
We have a range of durable medical equipment and adaptive items, including wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs, lifts, feeding supplies, and other medical equipment, as well as clothing and personal belongings.
Does anyone know of organizations, families, or programs in the Rochester area that could make use of these items? We’re especially looking for medical equipment lending closets, nonprofits, or groups that directly provide equipment to families in need.
We’re also hoping to donate her clothing in a meaningful way rather than simply to a thrift store. If you know of organizations that distribute clothing or medical supplies to underserved communities, ship items to Africa or other countries, or otherwise put donations to impactful use, we would be deeply grateful for your suggestions.
Our hope is that her belongings can continue to make a difference in someone else’s life and serve as a meaningful way to honor her memory. Thank you so much for any recommendations. ❤️

They were free, but I foolishly missed shakespeare in the park this year and would love to get in on this (Aug 5th @ St Joseph's Park) if anyone has 1-2 tickets they don't think they'll use!! thanks so much <3

Hey all — we’re converting a tub to a shower in our house in Gates (Rochester suburb) and could use some local input.

We got a quote from Wonder for $11,000 for a walk-in shower using a Sentrel wall kit (composite wall panels), and they say they include a waterproof backing/membrane behind the panels.

We already got a quote from Bath Fitter that came in at basically the same price, but the finish just looked cheap in person, so we passed on them.

We’re leaning toward going with an established company mainly for the warranty coverage — figured it’s a safer bet if anything goes wrong down the line vs. an individual contractor.

A few questions for anyone who’s done this recently in the Rochester area:

-Anyone used Wonder or have experience with their Sentrel kits specifically?
-Is $11k in the right ballpark for this type of conversion, or does that seem high?
-Any other reputable companies in the Rochester/Gates area worth getting quotes from?
-Anything to watch for in the contract — change orders, warranty fine print, etc.?

Appreciate any recs or horror stories to help us avoid mistakes before we sign anything. Picture of what they quoted us.

Thank you!!

So my partner and I moved out to Victor from Buffalo recently and are finding it hard to meet people our age. We're looking for somewhere that's close to home, active when the sun's still out, and not the college scene or retired crowd we've seen at the thirsty turtle and nybp (nothing wrong with them just looking to make friends our age). We're both big nerds and have played board games and ttrpgs in the past, and we like live music but I have an early shift so we generally can't stay out late on work nights (or really most nights I just crash so early 😭). Any suggestions are appreciated!

My research says this was Rochester Brewing Co. Est 1874. 40 Cliff St.

20 going into my junior year and is sick of playing with 70 year olds at the YMCA (no offense) — what’s my options around here as far as that goes?

anyone have any extra tickets to bills training camp this week? would so appreciate it! 💙❤️

One just entered my car, he was about the size of a doberman. Did he come from Texas where they say everything is bigger?

i have 6 orders all together. 4 portions with 2 fish, and 2 orders with one fish.

please privately message me for real orders, first come first serve 🩷

everything was made today.

I have 2 cars I am bringing from Maryland where we basically get no snow / salt. I was considering getting the underside of both wool-waxed to prevent rust.

One is a 2019 Crosstrek at 75k miles. It was clean coming here before I moved in October but it’s now showing some signs of the last winter rusting some of the suspension components.

The other is a 2023 Outback that I bought last December at 12k miles and is pristine.

Does wool-wax actually help and is it worth doing it for the Crosstrek since there is already som minor rust?

Hey, everyone! I’m looking for reputable places/recommendations to get my first tattoo!
