I don’t know who comes up with inclement weather names, but I am making a call for him or her to cut it out. STOP IT, already (or call me so I can come up with more betterer names). So, we survived the so-called “Bomb Cyclone” this past weekend, and I am still not sure […]
Dream big, dream early! Dillman & Upton’s On Deck Saturdays kick off on March 16 from 10 am to 2 pm in Downtown Rochester. Meet several pro builders in one place and see all the latest deck materials. You can even get an estimate on professional installation costs while you enjoy a free hot dog […]

It’s kinda hard to believe we are already into the second month of the year 2019. Usually by this time of the year, I have already reneged on at last one of my yearly goals. As January played out, however, I was preyed upon by stomach issues (stupid flu bug) and super duper cold, below […]
Oh, the other week whilst I was flat on my back with stomach issues, I was able to watch morning network “news” broadcasts. So, I am lying there, feeling sorry for myself, waiting to make another run for the latrine, when I hear Good Morning America co-anchor George Stephanopoulos say something like, “According to reports […]
Street Parking Reminder from The City Manager Jon Smith. With snow predicted for this weekend and next week, I though it appropriate to remind vehicle owners that parking is prohibited on all City streets and in City-owned parking lots from 2 AM to 6 AM from December 1to April 1.
