"Here is a map that shows what a 1.5 circle around School 16 looks like. Can you imagine parents having their kids walk 1.5 miles across dozens of intersections? When there was no busing students walked to their nearest school. Also…"

Save $, Improve Neighborhoods

A study has shown that short-distance busing to neighborhood schools can save money vs. current practices of busing students to schools across town. This is being done as parents, concerned for safety and well-being of their children, choose to have them attend where they can ride a bus to school. Now, state law prohibits state aid for busing students less than 1.5 miles; they must walk if they wish to go to a local school. The report prepared for the school district shows "change in policy…See More

There is a great article in the current edition of Life in the Finger Lakes magazine, featuring 19th Ward resident Michael Warren Thomas. "His velvety rich voice fills the airwaves every weekend." The article details how he offers "an unparalleled knowledge of all things food, wine, and gardening in the Finger Lakes... His Saturday and Sunday morning radio shows on WYSL-1040 AM are often required listening for folks who like to keep up with the region's wine and restaurant…

Of course I'm your friend, and you are my friend. By being friends, what does that have to do with Location 19? Will we get a free pizza from Menenzes? That would be nice. I'll even pay for it!

At 12:28am on July 20, 2014, John Boutet said…: OK, Problems with MacClurg's double accounts have been taken care of. You reinstated her newer account on the Southwest Garden Group and suspended the old one which has been unusable by her but has been causing confusion. I also suspended her old account from Location19. That will leave her old content on the site and avoid people sending messages to the old account that she cannot receive emails from.

I can best answer your question by having you check out our website www.simplifiedbuilding.com.

Our bread and butter is railing, but clothing racks, desk/table frames, and fitness structures are just a few of the many other applications of our pipe fittings.

Hope to meet you in person some day!

At 7:25am on April 27, 2012, Laura Suda said…: Hi Mark,

I'm attaching the form for you to use to request free trees from the city. My husband and I started out identifying which homes on our street had no trees in the tree lawn/subway. At those homes where no one answered the door, I attached to the request form a note providing my contact information. I did find that most of my positive results came when I had personal contact with the neighbor.

The person to contact at the city is Rick, Rochester Dept. of Forestry, phone 428-1218.

If you have any other questions, let me know.
Good luck!
