\"Looking<\/a>
\nBy Matthew Denker<\/a><\/i><\/small><\/p>\n

From local development to just plain news of the weird, here are your RocLinks for this past week…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Big Plans, Small Nabe<\/h3>\n

EMMA doesn’t seem to like a bunch of one bedroom apartments coming to the neighborhood, but Home Leasing is going ahead\"external<\/a> with a pretty big project for a small neighborhood. I’ve often thought that this is a neighborhood with an incredible amount of potential, but like many neighborhoods in Rochester, it lacks the density to attract the amenities that the people living there want. With a rather sizable stable of vacant lots, a few too many large private parking lots, and a general focus on other parts of the city, it could still be a while.<\/p>\n

Ever-so-Slightly-Afield<\/h3>\n

St. John Fisher is planning to build a sizable new chapel\"external<\/a> on campus. No images, but for that amount of money, it should be pretty nice. Groundbreaking is in July.<\/p>\n

Ongoing Dumpster Fire(s)<\/h3>\n

The D&C asks whatever happened to the Irondequoit Mall?\"external<\/a> Spoiler alert: it’s still a rotting husk in limbo. You should scout the article, though, because they have some lovely history of the building\/complex over the years too.<\/p>\n

Calling all Artists!<\/h3>\n

The City released an RFP\"external<\/a> looking for artists to submit designs for public art to be installed near Brooks Landing. If this sounds up your alley, I highly encourage you to do so. If you need help writing a proposal, you know where to find me.<\/p>\n

Crime Watch<\/h3>\n

There has been a recent spate of criminal activity\"external<\/a> over at Blossom and Winton. Be safe out there.<\/p>\n

Take a Seat<\/h3>\n

And finally, Reconnect Rochester has a spectacular story about a do-it-yourself transportation improvement.\"external<\/a> I don’t want to spoil the fun, but I commend the guys on their ingenuity.<\/p>\n
