RocLinks 9/3/16

This article was scraped from Rochester Subway. This is a blog about Rochester history and urbanism has not been published since 2017. The current owners are now publishing link spam which made me want to preserve this history.. The original article was published September 03, 2016 and can be found here.

I'll bid $1

And finally, the Price is Right     hit up Rochester

for a recent prize. I'm flattered! Although they should maybe do some Rochester stuff too next time, and not just drive to Hilton.    * * *
