Help Anyone else get hit by this POS yesterday 10/18/26 around 2:30pm?

281 Upvotes

The trooper that came and took my report said that she had hit multiple other people and specifically someone else at the south Ave exit on 490west. This took place on 590S and 490W. I'm assuming she had hit someone else and was already running when she hit me by the way she flew up on me. Plate number MCL7285

Photo Two Photos a Month, a Thousand Reasons to Love Rochester — 2026 So Far

Thumbnail

282 Upvotes

I wish the days would slow down a little. But until they do, I’ll keep taking pictures.

Two photographs from each month of 2026 so far. Looking back through them, I keep thinking about how much happens while we’re busy getting through our days. The snow melts. The trees fill in. We complain about the heat, and suddenly we’re reaching for a jacket again. Somewhere in between, another piece of our lives becomes a memory.

And Rochester is there through all of it.

Being a photojournalist has given me a thousand reasons to carry a camera. Loving this city has given me a thousand more.

I hope these photographs make you pause for a moment. Maybe recognize a corner you love. Maybe see something you’ve passed a hundred times a little differently. Maybe remember where you were, and who you were with, when the year still looked like this.

Rochester, thank you for giving me so much to hold on to.

Your friend, LittleBurdi

Help How do I find my daughter on the streets of Rochester?

Post image
214 Upvotes

I saw my daughter on a spectrum news story they did about the homeless. I’ve contacted spectrum and some shelters/outreach places, but I have come up short.

She has no way of getting in touch with me as she doesn’t have my number or address. We’re from Buffalo. I still reside there.

My heart breaks everyday for her. I’m afraid that I may never see her again.

I don’t have a car or I’d be in Rochester at the outreach centers looking for her.

I don’t have the funds or I would hire a private investigator

Any advice?

Discussion One thing I think people here tend to underappreciated about winters is how much quieter they are than Summers.

122 Upvotes

You don’t have people firing up, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, pressure washers, motorized yard toys, etc. all day every day.

People tend to not do much on the weekends or even on the weekdays after work and that tends to mean, it’s much quieter.

Now I fully understand there are people who are scared of quiet and that’s why they need to listen to music or have some kind of noise on in the background everywhere they go. I do feel bad for those people because that sounds exhausting.

Strong museum of play is having an adult Halloween night.
This is the first time they are doing this so I wanted to spread the word. There’s a costume contest, trivia, and build a “scare”. It’s alcohol free as well.

Me and my bf are hoping to meet some new friends also in their early 20s, so if you’re going leave a comment!

Food If you’re looking for good African food in Rochester, give Kitchen Africana a try! 🇬🇭

23 Upvotes

I recently tried KITCHEN AFRICANA at 1475 E. Henrietta Rd. and the food was SO good! The flavors are savory, the portions are generous, and you definitely get a satisfying meal for your money.
The goat soup was my favorite! It was sooo flavorful and delicious!

I know they’ve moved locations a few times, and I really hope more people discover them and support their business. Good food deserves to be shared, and I’d love to see KITCHEN AFRICANA thrive in their new location!

If you enjoy trying different cuisines, give them a visit and show them some love. ❤️

Help Camp Eastman Hiking/Totem Pole?

7 Upvotes

I went to Camp Eastman most summers (90s-2000s) and I swear I remember the counselors taking us hiking in the woods there. We even sat around a totem pole in the woods a lot of days. But yesterday I pulled it up on Google Maps, and I see no hiking trails. I thought the totem pole would be an easy landmark, but I can’t find anything about it, anywhere. Am I imagining all this, or did this stuff all get taken away somehow?

7 Upvotes

I’m considering selling my home in the city proper. Nice neighborhood, small house with some quirks but great starter home. I know the estimates on the sales sites are very rough and the best route is a realtor appraisal, but I am just curious how close your estimates were to your final sale price. Appreciate any insight!
