Discussion Anyone have a connection at L3Harris?

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for work and have over a decade of experience in call centers in technical roles, I have experiencing with networking linux, and remote terminals. I've applied a few times but keep getting blocked by the APS. I was talking with my connection at DoL and she said see if anyone knows anyone who can speak for me in any way shape or form. I've been out of work for over 6 months and I feel like IT in Rochester may be a no go for me.

If you have any advice or suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Here’s my honest West Henrietta Rd. Walkability Score: 2.63 out of 100. Considering how many potholes and lack of sidewalks Henrietta has, I’m still trying to figure out who this town is for? Because it’s not for people or cars from what I can tell.

The photo with the sidewalk is getting back to Rochester.

Help Looking to Rehome Cat

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’ve been looking to rehome my cat for the past few months after unexpectedly finding out that I have to leave the Rochester area this month. I’ve reached out to almost every shelter and agency in the area, but unfortunately, they’ve either placed me on a waitlist or haven’t been able to help. I’ve also posted in Facebook groups and rehoming websites, but haven’t had any luck so far.

I’m running out of time and really need help finding a safe and loving home for my cat. If anyone is able to take him in, knows someone who may be able to, or knows of a shelter or rescue agency that can accept him ASAP, please reach out to me.

I just want to make sure my cat is safe and cared for. Any leads or recommendations would mean so much to me.

Help Shopping locally

96 Upvotes

Hello all, following a recent doom spiral about current events. (flock cameras, ICE, new detention center coming here, data centers etc). I want to start voting more with my money. Just to feel like I’m doing something with my worker bee honey I have left. Where can I shop locally for things like meat, groceries, clothing, furniture, or even properties,plants, pet supplies and services…Like who’s grandma has the best plates? I just want to make a master list of hidden gems that are hidden because they’re not promoted as much because big business is over community.

Help Local cellphone repair shops

Upvotes

Hey everybody,

I’m wondering if anyone can help with recommending a local cellphone repair shop?

My daughter has a, new to her, iPhone 11 that’s been having some issues that I believe are mechanical in nature. I believe one of the side buttons is messed up somehow and I am not skilled enough (or confident enough) to take the phone apart myself.

I’ve tried every online search to remedy to problem through different settings and whatnot, so I truly believe that it is a mechanical issue.

I took her to the Apple Store in eastview mall and all they did was try to upsell us on an iphone 16 🙄. No thanks, she’s only a teenager and the 11 is more than enough.

Anyone ever utilize a local cellphone repair shop?

Thanks!

No one knows who VanLare is, and the plant that keeps Rochester clean deserves better. I think we should rename it in honor of Donald J Trump.

Discussion Film maker/director??

4 Upvotes

Are there any film makers/directors that are looking for a person to make a film with? I live in the area and was thinking about being in a short film, whether it’s a main, side, or background character. Im 21, 6’1, skinny/athletic build, and African American. I don’t have much experience in acting, besides a drama class i did for about, 5-6 years when i was younger, but i definitely take on skills easily. So if there is anyone around the area that wants to film something or get together and make up an idea/ideas, i would love to.

Help I spy

66 Upvotes

Odd request, but I’m looking for a guy to help me out. Last week I traveled to Rochester for a party. Ended up eating at the landing strip bar next to the airport. I used the male bathroom and was astonished by all the posters and signs. There was one that really interested me. I took a picture of it but it turns out the picture didn’t actually go through. It was right above the urinal to the left. At the very top of the wall to your left if you were standing at the urinal. It has a stone or clay carved man/blob that is somber looking with slanted eyes. Pretty sure there’s writing on the sign somewhere. Just curious if anyone frequently goes there and could send me a pic of said sign, or the very rare chance someone already has a picture or knows what I’m talking about.

Thanks in advance

Oddity To the gentleman with a Subaru who was drawing/painting a house on East Ave Sunday (8/30) around 8am…I would love to see the final result! Show us if you’re here!

There was a guy on East Ave somewhere west of Culver (I can’t pinpoint where because I was just shooketh and how incredible what I could see of his art looked!) who was out there with an easel and his materials doing a rendition of a gorgeous house on East Ave. I assume it was a commissioned piece?! Either way, I would love to see the final product if you’re in this group!

If you went to the Clothesline show at the Memorial Art Gallery last weekend, I was an exhibitor would love to know what you thought about the festival. I spoke to many people who said that it was a bit overwhelming with the number of exhibitors there. I'm trying to decide if I should exhibit next year, so feedback/comments would be welcome!
