Main Street Rochester NY
Posted on October 8, 2008
Until a recent trip to the Memorial Art Gallery - to take advantage of Free Museum Day - I had no idea that the Main Street Bridge in Rochester NY was originally covered in structures much like the original London Bridge. There’s an excellent history recap of Main St available on the RocWiki if you’d like even more of a history lesson. An archaic style of bridge like that somehow makes me think Rochester hasn’t always been as behind on the times as it is now. After all, they had the good sense to remove it. A small digital copy of a painting of the Bridge can be seen below or see the full version at the Memorial Art Gallery.
It’s always impressive to go and view Artwork in your local city. Even a small city such as Rochester houses some famous Artwork by names you’ll recognize.
This next painting is one of my favorites at the Gallery from an Artist I’d previously not heard of.
Wii Have Extra Jackets
Posted on May 28, 2008
In true American Consumer form when I heard Nintendo was offering up to 4 free Wii Remote Jackets if you already owned a Wii I ordered 4. The problem is, we only have 2 Wii Remotes. The extra 2 Jackets are completely useless to me. If you have a use form them or know someone who does please let us know and we’d be happy to give them to you. Or if you haven’t ordered yours yet please take ours as we would rather not just throw them out.
UPDATE: The jackets have found a lovely new home. Thanks everyone!
