Construction is now underway at Hart’s Local Grocers, a new independent grocery store in the East End. Founder, Glenn Kellogg announced today that Hart’s will open its doors this summer.

A Drive-Thru Rochester
Sunday, December 11th, 2011
A few weeks ago I was driving home from my downtown office and happened to have my camera with me. Not sure why but I thought it be interesting to see what I’d capture if I left it on my dashboard for the ride. Now don’t try this at home—distracted driving is not cool.

So go ahead—turn down the lights, pump up the volume, and hit it full screen. Let me know what you think in the comments.

The NYC Metro Cuff
Saturday, August 29th, 2009By now everyone knows that if you want to project yourself as an über-urbanite, you need to have a subway map hanging on your wall. And if you want to take your überness to the streets you need something like a subway t-shirt.
