Well now I&#8217;m happy to report that the city has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.democratandchronicle.com\/story\/news\/2015\/02\/25\/rochester-mayor-lovely-warren-midtown-parcel-development\/23987431\/\" target=\"_new\">rejected both proposals <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"external link\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochestersubway.com\/images\/icon_link.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"11\" border=\"0\"><\/a>! Look forward to a decade of a dirt lot followed by a performing arts center followed by a casino followed by a bail bonds and pawn shop to be built at the site (this is my not-so-professional prediction).<\/p>\n<h3>NOMNOMNOM<\/h3>\n<p>And finally, we&#8217;re stuck reporting way out in the suburbs, this time Victor, because a story like <a href=\"http:\/\/13wham.com\/news\/features\/top-stories\/stories\/bizarre-jewelry-theft-ends-big-arrest-20478.shtml\" target=\"_new\">this one <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"external link\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochestersubway.com\/images\/icon_link.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"11\" border=\"0\"><\/a> doesn&#8217;t happen every day.
