I'll be in Rochester, NY for business next Monday and Tuesday, 01/26 & 27/04.
I'm wondering if any of you live in or near there and would like to get together for dinner or whatever.
I hate sitting alone in motel rooms and I hate watching TV.
I love meeting TT'ers.

Is there anything interesting in the area to see with only one afternoon/evening to spend?

Snafu, I didn't realize you worked in Rochester! I have family in Spencerport. My uncle works at the Kodak plant (one of the few who still works there, lots of layoffs). I love it around there, very beautiful!

Sweet, Snafu! At the latest, I plan on being there for Christmas. You live in a cool area, I've always loved it around there. Lot's of open land and the people are very friendly. Very cool vibe. I'll definitely let you know when I'll be around there next. I'm always up for some wicked good BBQ.

Sammy Hagar used to live here for atime when he was with "Montros" (SP?) We would come back for concerts and always mention the "Garbage Plate"....also the Abbotts Custard is wicked awesome too...
I've have been all over the country and the one thing I can say about Rochester, is the all the food is very good, probably why so many over weight folks here...lol

I did start to get large there. No wait, that was after I met my ex! I was also a waiter for too long on Park Ave.

Through a friend of a friend, I partied at the home of Foreigners lead singer, whats-his-name (or was it the dude from Journey)? I think he gave that house to his ex.

That would have to be the band Foreigner. Lou Graham lead singer or his real name Lou Grammanico (sp?)
He is from Rochester and has a lot of family still here.....

Cool that you waitered on park ave :-)
Park Ave is a great street!
My XG & I really liked the Park Ave Fest. Good Times!
