Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
msbelle- the area around the medical center is nice, but is more expensive, I think.
Amy- the housing prices in Rochester are generally low in the city and higher in the suburbs (but no where near other places prices) The city schools have a reputation for being very bad (although there are really good pockets), so it is harder to find a house in the city with kids.
ETA- the medical center and the university campus are right next to each other- so there is not too much difference.
This is the most expensive house (single family) in the city search. It doesn't look like much, but it is in a really really nice area. This is a nicer house, but kinda in the hood [link]
In contrast, this is a nearby suburb (a rather ritzy one) [link]
ETA: rather this is the most expensive city house [link]
If anyone missed last night's Rachel Maddow Show, I highly recommend watching this clip, in which Rachel is The Interview because of Scott Brown (R-MA) using her name in his fundraising efforts. It's hilarious!
Pay attention to the various chyrons--I didn't notice them until midway through, when I saw "Maddow owns large dog and claims to be 'gay'," and had to go back and read them all.
I need this fabric for my pink garage/laundry room, right? [link]
Absolutely, msbelle.
Sophia, those are great. So inexpensive compared to other markets.
Bob/Surgery ~ma, lisah!
On Day Five of workmen installing fiber-obtic cable in my neighborhood. I wish they and their noisy jackhammers would Go Away. Especially as I have a low-level migraine this morning.
Those houses are great, Sophia and the prices are unreal.
However, the taxes. *gasp* Crazycakes. The suburb's taxes are close to twice what we're paying.

That's NYS for you.
That's the problem here in Oswego County, too, Barb. You can get a house for $75,000, but the taxes are insane. And if you ask me, you don't get much but reliable snow removal for your money.
I'll go back to chanting "I can't wait to get out of here" now.
Why oh why aren't hair cutters open on Sundays??
