Doyle’s privacy I find myself in the rather unusual position of defending County Executive Jack Doyle in regards to the commentary by Chris Busby, “Mr. Doyle’s Neighborhood” (December 31). First, I am naive enough to think that Mr. Doyle, even as a public figure, should be allowed to have a private, candid conversation outside […]

Will’s not dead. Though rumored to be taking a dirt nap, The Monty’s Krown (and Korner) owner is alive and well. It was his business partner who passed. Condolences to his family. So, I went to the Krown to see The Tyrones and Oceanside. I already knew what to expect from The Tyrones, and […]

Snowbound As a City of Rochester resident and year-round walker, I increasingly dread the onset of winter, mainly because of the thick snowy blanket or icy veneer that often coats the sidewalks. At least once every winter, I manage to fall on the sidewalk, so far avoiding serious injury to my already impaired body. […]

Cover shock I have been a reader of City Newspaper since the days when it was two papers, City East and City West, and have always felt that City exemplified taste, decorum, and sensitivity to its diverse readership. However, I was forced to reevaluate this assessment when I was confronted with the cover of […]

The bells, THE BELLS! Mistletoe, bells, the scent of pine, bells, snow, bells, lists of who’s been naughty and nice, and the ringing of bells all around as you shop this holiday season. And these bells have been ringing in front of red kettles in Rochester since 1900. “The whole red kettle concept started […]
