\"MLK<\/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

The Big Finale<\/h3>\n

So Charlotte, huh? The marina’s open, but after 4 years the city has dumped Edgewater\"external<\/a> for well, nothing right now. A new RFP I suppose. Good luck to Charlotte getting the project they’ve always wanted (whatever that is). Maybe they could respond to the RFP when it comes out?<\/p>\n

The Wettest Halprin<\/h3>\n

Great news mid-century, brutalist, landscape architecture buffs! The city is turning the water back on\"external<\/a> at MLK Park. I hope it’s still on next time I’m in town so I can see it.<\/p>\n

Teeth Cleaning<\/h3>\n

The Eastman Dental Dispensary has been undergoing renovations\"external<\/a> for the past year or so. Some back of the envelope calculations from the article suggest that Home Leasing spent about $500psf on the apartments, making them easily twice as expensive as anything else in the city. They’re also renting them out at $1.25psf, or a quarter of the expected amount. Sounds like the deal of the century to me, so go seniors!<\/p>\n

Onward Mexico<\/h3>\n

The manager of one of my favorite bars in Rochester, The Revelry, is opening his own bar\"external<\/a> in NOTA. It will be dedicated to the Mexican Spirit Mezcal. Sounds like another delicious opening to me, and since it’s right in the city, you can easily stumble home from it.<\/p>\n

Can I Be Electric too?<\/h3>\n

And finally, Troy Rank, founder of the Rochester based electric bike company Maxwell Motorbikes, has a thorough interview\"external<\/a> over at the Post. Full disclaimer, I’m married to a cousin of Mr. Rank’s, but came to this link completely on my own. Small world. That said, e-bikes are awesome (another disclaimer – I own one, although not one of Troy’s – sorry if he’s reading this), and I highly recommend them, especially with the parking crunch at the beach.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/div>\n

Have a great holiday weekend (Happy Birthday America), and as always, use the comments below as open discussion for anything in these links \u2013 or let us know if there\u2019s a topic you\u2019d like to see us hit more aggressively in future RocLinks. Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
