Let me just preface this. Those of you who follow RochesterSubway.com know we are not trying to bring back the Subway—although if Mayor Duffy announced its re-opening tomorrow we’d promptly crown him King of Rochester. Our mission is plainly stated at the bottom of every page on this site. We support any initiative that will improve the quality of life for all Rochesterians. A bike lane here or there. Perhaps a few good grocery stores downtown, etc. etc. Our goal is to get Rochester thinking about the possibilities and to spark public dialogue.

Most of the feedback we get from our readers is very positive and we’ve had a lot of great ideas thrown our way. But for every 20 people we hear from, there’s usually one person who’s… well… a real visionary. This month’s award goes to Christine B. from Rochester. In fact, we may have to name the award after her. Christine makes the assumption that we are out to garnish her paycheck and use it to bring back the Rochester Subway. And oh boy is she P.O.’d!

A word of caution before you read her monologue… if you’re a Kodak employee, a “liberal”, unemployed, gay, or if you are homeless, some of Christine’s ideas may offend you. But if you read between the lines, I’m sure you’ll see where she’s going with this line of thought. Oh, and PLEASE share your opinions in the comments. I know Christine will appreciate your feedback…
