House & Garden Tour: Waterfront Properties |
||
 |
 |
|
 |
||
Tour ends this Sunday, 6/27! Lake Ontario. The Genesee River. The Erie Canal. Irondequoit Bay. The Finger Lakes. We have so many options for waterfront properties in our area. Many of them are not visible from the public road. Fortunately, owners are willing to share their homes with you, in our virtual tour, which ends this weekend. This beautiful, professionally produced video will highlight sites near these bodies of water – and perhaps a few water features you didn’t even know existed. You will enjoy seasonal summer houses, year-round homes, and other unique properties. “Additional viewer” tickets are available at a deep discount for anyone that will watch the video with you. |

Upcoming public meetings for Inner Loop North Transformation alternatives |
||
|
|
|
 |
||
The City of Rochester is hosting public meetings to gather YOUR feedback on the infill of the north section of the Inner Loop. If done sensitively, this project has the potential to transform and repair neighborhoods that were devastated by Urban Renewal and construction of the Inner Loop. Along with residents on both sides of the Inner Loop (Grove Place and South Marketview Heights) and our friends at Hinge Neighbors, we are advocating for a neighborhood-driven and community-centered design that will physically reconnect these two neighborhoods and help foster equity and investment. Visit our website to learn more about the design elements for which we are advocating. Public meetings will be held (in-person meetings are drop-in): TODAY, Wednesday, 6/23 – 3-6PM @ YMCA Center for Equity (53 Lewis St.) Friday, 6/25 – Virtual session, 12-1:30 PM Tuesday, 6/29
Visit the Inner Loop North website for more information about the project and public meetings. |

The festival will take place Friday, October 8th and Saturday, October 9th, with reserved indoor seatings on Friday and Saturday, and a site-wide celebration on Saturday.

Explore Architecture in the Wild with the YUPs |
||
|
|
|
 |
||
Our Young Urban Preservationists are back with their outdoor walking tour classes for the summer! In these classes, the YUPs take students out onto the streets to explore Rochester’s architectural history in its natural setting. Classes are held through the Rochester Brainery and registration is available on the Brainery’s website (follow the link below). Don’t delay–capacity is limited and these classes sell out quickly! (And stay tuned as the YUPs add more August classes to the schedule) If you missed it this spring, the YUPs are also repeating their virtual class, The Rocks That Built Rochester. It’s a must-see if you like geology and/or architecture.
