Tell us about yourself:
I am a Rochesterian by birth and spent 2/3 of my life here and love it. I have mostly lived in the city by choice, and always as a renter. I bought my first house! last fall and moved here from the southwedge in Dec. 08. I have been involved in community related activities for over 25 years and look forward to continuing that in the 19thW. In the wedge, I organized my n'hood org called the Hickory Nuts, with a handful of neighbors and was its first President. Till recently, I was an active member of the Civilian Review Board (police-community complaints) for 20 years. I am a freelance grantwriter, which is how I make my living. It is work that I love, as I get to learn about and work with all kinds of nonprofits and people passionate about their missions. I am the new secretary of the SW PCIC, a position I held for 10 or so years with the Highland East Side PCIC. I look forward to meeting many of the residents in the 19th W and learning about the resources of the 19thW (restaurants, handymen, best stores to shop, etc.) and would appreciate hearing about such opportunities.

    Well, we've been here since 1982! I guess you know that since I believe you came to the housewarming party, which I think I did in 1983 on my 35th birthday. This social network seems to revolve a lot around feral cats. That's actually how I learned about it. Robin, from my dance class, is a cat woman.

    MacClurg, the 19th of most months, Michael Warren Thomas and the 19th ward "foodies" eat at a different local restaurant. Occasionally, they do potlucks. I think the Association usually has the list of upcoming outings.

    MacClurg,

    Yesterday, Friday, June 27 on 1370 AM (WXXI), Evan Dawson interviewed someone who has a company in Greece.  He was talking about the dangers of coal tar in driveway sealants;  that Lowes and Home Depot no longer sell sealers with that ingredient.  Supposedly, one can get a podcast of the show.  It's called "1370 Connection."  I believe yesterday's show was "Innovation Friday."
