Re: “RECREATION | Landmark House & Garden Tour”
Try to get your tickets in advance - this tour can sell out, and tickets the days of the tour are a bit more expensive ($25). It's a don't miss this year!
Re: “Teachers may take over some schools in Rochester”
The situation in the city (school district) won't change because the key issues aren't being addressed. I talked to teens all over and the ones who have the part time jobs at Wegmans usually are in college and doing well. I do this on my own as I love talking to teens.
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
Great blog! Thanks to Bernie for pointing me to it.
Having read book three I knew that Robb's wife was not at that wedding and that she is alive in book 4 (I haven't read 5 yet), so I was shocked by her death and actually yelled, "What the fuck!" at that moment. My guess is that they just wanted to get rid of his wife's storyline and in turn, get rid of several characters for the next seasons.
Anyway, nice recap. I look forward to reading more.
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
At this point, people need to realize that if you want to read a blog about a show your interested in, maybe wait until you have seen the episode before you read it. It's common sense. I enjoy the author's postings very much, but do wait until I've seen the episode to then get his thoughts.
Re: “Our tone-deaf governor: Cuomo and the cities”
Keep in mind that Cuomo is responsible to the statewide electorate, not just the few upstate cities. City living is a luxury and should mainly be funded by those people who choose it. People who live outside of the city manage to get along without multiple hundreds of professional police, rec centers, music festivals, etc., and increasingly do not come to a city even for work. As those people manage to mainly self-fund their local governments through their own property taxes, they have a reasonable expectation that cities should do so to the same extent.

Re: “Feedback 5/29”
THE POUR HOUSE
You recently conducted a review on the tavern, THE POUR HOUSE in Penfield, but you forgot to include a pertinent detail. While I enjoyed my visit and the atmosphere during a recent get-together with a friend to watch a ball game, I was shocked to see Labatt's beer being sold by the pitcher for 12 dollars! Other bars practically give the stuff away for half the price, I've seen. Get with it, Pour House owner!
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
I can't believe what has just happened. Pretty horrific to watch that last scene. I thought chopping off Ned Starks head was bad. I really liked Rob Stark but have been watching him this season with an impending sense of doom! I need to start reading the books. I agree that it feels like things are taking a while to happen in this season, they are in danger of alienating some people by not advancing some character plot lines far enough whilst taking away some well loved characters
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
I hate the ending of the episode. I do not want to see the show ever again. The producers killed the series. The Starks family wasn't supposed to die. I wanted them to live. I wish the father of the Starks family hadn't been executed in season 1 episode 9. I wanted a good ending. I am so disappointed.
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
I loved this serie. But this turn on killing whole Stark's family disappòinted me completely. What a bullshit and that's the end for me of the serie. Pathetic. Without sense.
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
And I do think the next big wedding will be pushed to S4
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
One of the three names was an Iron Born: Lord Greyjoy.
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
Ken: Yeah, I'm fairly certain the other wedding will be Season 4. They're splitting Book 3 over two seasons -- that has always been the plan. I cannot imagine the show getting to those plot points any earlier than the second half of S4, probably around the same point they did the Red Wedding this time. My current guess on cliffhanger for the finale involves a big advancement in the Bran plot, and the Red Priestess getting tipped off to goings-on somewhere very different.
Regarding the Iron Islands, I expect that stuff to get lumped into Season 4. We saw Yara/Asha in the preview for next episode. I know that people are cool toward the Ironborn stuff now, but her POV chapters in the books and the fascinating politics involving her uncles made me much more interested in that area of Westeros. So I expect that to be a focus of the next season. My question is, will the show even bother getting into Dorne at this point? Or are they just going to let that stay off to the side until those subplots become more relevant to the main story arcs? (Book readers are still waiting for that, with the exception of the Myrcella and Oberyn stuff.)
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
The author used the word "Spoilers" in the 3rd paragraph before he got into the recap. I think people were sufficiently warned.
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
Next time say that you're WRITING SPOILERS. The way you wrote that you're going to say what was in the books that wasn't in this episode seemed like you were saying things that could not possibly be mentioned in the next episode. Such as scenes. But you completely went out and spoke about what will happen in the next episode!! THANK YOU.
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 9: A nice day for a Red Wedding”
There is one more death as portended by the Red Witch in the previous episode (Well, two really, but the Iron born are irrelevant to the TV show apparently). I had assumed that the Red Wedding would be the cliff hanger for this season but I guess they are going with the other wedding instead. Do you really think they will push it until Season 4?
Re: “"Fast & Furious 6"”
YESS!!! I love these movies, you get exactly what you came for, fast cars, cheesy dialouge, absurd action sequences, and gratuitous skin shown. It's gotten to the point where I think even the actors are in on the joke.
Check out this episode of the B.S. Report http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=6443190, it is THE definitive breakdown of the previous movie (and the whole franchise) by Bill Simmons and Adam Carolla. They will probably be coming out with another one shortly
Re: “[UPDATED] Brockport trustee challenges embattled mayor”
I would suggest voting for Margie. Don't know if she has any ties to rental property. A fresh new paradigm of viewpoints and thinking might be welcomed at this time. I see a vast difference in the way, for example, that Geneseo keeps up their properties and the way Brockport has. It's so sad to see the way some of these beautiful 'once-family' homes have been sliced and diced into 'compartments'. We must avail ourselves to preserve the family and a cherished sense of History as versus laying stakes everywhere for rental property!
