looking for Photos for the Location19 Header

Hi All,

I wanted to let you know, that if you have any photos that you think would look good on the top of Location19, please feel free to drop them in an email to me. I will look through them, and choose the ones that will work the best for the area I have to fit them into. I tend to shy away from photos of people, unless you have a models release, or unless you can not immediately identify who they are. They only other thing I… Continue

Location19.org

You can now get to location19 by typing in www.location19.org (the ".com" was taken). The original Ning address (https://location19.ning.com/) is still valid, and you should not see any problems with using either web address.

I felt it was time for Location19 to finally grow up and have it's own domain name. If you do experience any problems, please feel free to drop me an email.

Suspicious Incident on Marlborough, Sunday 8/9 Approx 6:30PM‏

This is a repost from Sheri:

Last night at approximately 6:30pm a silver Impala pulled over in front of our house. There were several people in the car including a female in the passenger seat. A young male exited the rear driver side door and the vehicle drove off. The young male (black, thin to average weight, grey sweatshirt, dark colored ball cap) started walking east on Marlborough then he turned and quickly (almost running) went into Kathy's backyard and jumped over her fence… Continue

Car hit our neighbors house. Penhurst Street

Sheri just shared this information with me. Anthony and I were at the Little last night when this happened. There was a police car at the neighbors house when we got home. Because someone last week ran down the street light in fron of our house, it was too dark to tell that something had happened! Watch out for crazy drivers on Penhurst!

Attempted Break In

Reposted from 19th Ward Yahoo Group:

Hello all.

Just for your information: When I got home from National Night Out at about 9:00, I noticed a kitchen window wide open and a basement "window" that is actually a piece of thick wood with a round hole through which a dryer hose and vent are fitted kicked in. (A window used to be there.) The kitchen window is directly above the basement dryer vent. A window well sits there.

The two officers who responded--quickly for… Continue

Email subscriptions of Location19

Hi Location19er's!

After several requests, and much research, I have added an email subcription service to Location19. You will find in the upper left of the website (above the "Latest Activity" section) a link to add your email to the subcription service. It is free, and secure (powered by Google) and seems to function pretty well. Give it a try (you can unsubscribe as well) and let me know what you think. I will be fine tuning it in the coming days, so any feed back would be great,… Continue

California Rollin Coming to 19th Ward!

Some great news for sushi lovers! Anthony and I saw a sign in a window on Genesee Street across from Boulder, that California Rollin is opening a new shop. Very Exciting! These are great signs that Brooks Landing is truly becoming a "college town" right here in the 19th Ward.

Who needs 4 Million Dollars? Compare and Contrast

I know I am angry about something when it follows me into the next day! I am still boiling over the 4 million more for University Ave ArtWalk. I love the ArtWalk and feel it is an important aspect in the overall quality of life in Rochester. But in the current economic conditions, I feel it is essential to invest in parts of the city that really need help. ArtWalk will survive, but will Thurston Road? Or is this… Continue

Cleaning up the Trash on the Street

Now that the weather is warming up, and the snow is melting, all the winter trash that was hidden is coming out. I know that there is going to be trash just about everywhere this time of year, but I am tired of the trash that is being dumped and thrown along many of our "commercial areas" such as Brooks, Thurston, Arnett and Genesee Streets.

Many of you know about, or have heard about the… Continue
