A great mix of people go to Movies 10 theater to catch a flick at a good rate. Both those from the city and those from its surrounding suburbs flock to W. Henrietta Rd. to see all kinds of films, from horror to animated. Hey, how can you beat two bucks?
But, just because it happens to be $2 or less for a movie, that doesn’t mean it’s an excuse to take the family on a cheap outing if the movie is not actually appropriate for the entire family.
Last night, my friends and I decided to see a horror film at …

Since my last about Midtown Plaza, it has closed its doors–which begins a process of transformation for downtown Rochester. I’d like to share an article from City Newspaper and talk about some ideas it has evoked for me. I mentioned in my last post that the demise of Midtown was due, in large part, to the opening of the various suburban malls. Mary Anna Towler expands upon how those malls opening somewhat expressed a need for convenience for those living in the outer suburbs, yet at the same time, when these malls and big box shopping centers were being built, …

A top rocket scientist has just joined the ranks of the scientists who doubt the connection between CO2 and global warming. It doesn’t surprise me really, because I have done a lot of reading on the subject, but to the vast majority of Americans out there they may find this as a bit of a shock. We need to get the word out about how the environmentalism movement has been hijacked and how the most powerful politicians and businessmen out there stand to profit big off of the whole global warming lie. The below article is so powerful that I’ll …

I have held off on commenting on Midtown for a long time, though quietly I have been forming opinions on its demolition as well as the other projects going on downtown. Midtown is difficult issue to discuss for many of us Rochestarians. Many of us have memories of visiting it and many of our parents, grandparents and other family members tell us of all its splendor back in the good ol’ days.

There was McCurdy’s and Sibley’s and a Wegmans. Everyone was downtown. People dressed up and walked around near Midtown just to be seen. You could buy hats and grab …

When we think of environmentalism, many of us think of global warming and recycling. However, as I’ve mentioned in other articles, I think preserving our wildlife is an equal piece of the puzzle. No matter how small, each species plays a specific role in its ecosystem–every animal and plant has its niche. Sorry to go all Biology 101 on you, but I think that wildlife preservation is really important. And that’s why Andrew and I saved a young bird last night–Mr. Byrd, to be exact.

We were riding around in his ATV (I know, who ever thought I’d been …

This news has not happened recently, but I have been following it and thinking about it. A teacher from Wilson Commencement is under investigation for racist remarks toward her black students. Wendy Kaiser was removed from Wilson, but placed at another high school after the school was made aware of these remarks. Allegedly, Mrs. Kaiser called her students “monkeys,” and sprayed some with water. My comments on this page are a combination of things I have gathered from the comments people made on the D+C website and my own life experiences.
I think this could potentially be true, but we need …

Despite the fact that so many Americans are overweight, it still seems that the obese are a disliked group in the U.S. Just turn on the t.v. and you’ll see some skinny woman who is being diagnosed by Dr. Phil as having an “aversion to fat people.” People love to criticize the overweight and how they are costing everyone money, and how they are an eye-sore, but it is difficult to lose weight. And there are probably very few overweight people out there who don’t look in the mirror everyday and feel bad enough without the rest of …

I was just excited that the D+C published an article in today’s paper about 90.5 WBER DJ “Jennifer V.” In the article she talks about life in the world of radio, and how many people she has to thank for her long career at the station, although it has not been without its challenges. I really liked how she talked about balancing work and family–this is a key issue for women today. It’s tough to balance a career on the rise with family. You can catch Jennifer V. during your Wednesday morning commute for “New Wave Wednesday.” She is very …

Forget the jet fighters. Forget the fireworks.
Put down the hot dog. Put down the beer.
Take 5 minutes to consider why we fought.

The Unanimous Declaration
of the Thirteen United States of America
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We …
