Original Spaceman Artwork Now Available

Monday, April 1st, 2013

Spaceman artwork now available for you to own. [IMAGE: SPACEMAN]
A few months ago we interviewed the local artist known only as Spaceman. You’ve seen the iconic images on the streets of Rochester. Now you can own them (and contribute to two great causes). Proceeds gathered from the sale of these stickers, prints and t-shirts will go towards Spaceman’s efforts to clean up waterways in the Genesee Valley; including the Genesee River and surrounding tributaries. Spaceman also requests that a portion of the proceeds go to RocSubway for the upkeep of the site. Thanks Spaceman!

But don’t wait. Quantities are EXTREMELY limited so grab this stuff while it’s here.

Original artwork by Spaceman, available here…

Tokens of Rochester’s Past

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

Various Rochester transit tokens from the collection of RochesterSubway.com. All tokens are available for purchase.

We’ve been scouring the internet, libraries, archives, and antique shops all over western New York in search of anything we can get our hands on that may have had anything to do with Rochester’s subway. It’s all fair game— from old photos, postcards, tickets and passes—even stories and opinions from our readers. In our searching we’ve learned that the tiniest subway finds are usually the coolest. Case in point—tokens—at just 16mm (that’s millimeters), many of these coins are small enough to get stuck up your noseexternal link. But don’t try it. Trust us.
