Taking the train

As a lifelong rail enthusiast, maybe I can speak just a little bit to Tim Louis Macaluso’s piece, “New Train Station, Old Problems.” First, major kudos to Louise Slaughter for championing this project so persistently, and to the designer for such a handsome reminder of Claude Bragdon’s imposing original. But the problems it inherits: this could go either way. Our local main line had no such problems through the first half of the 20th century, when the then-New York Central was perhaps America’s premier passenger carrier and American builders were turning out the world’s finest passenger cars. But then came A) the Interstate highway system, B) the Boeing 727, and C) the loss of the railroads’ national mail-carrying contract, leaving us with Amtrak (technically a government corporation) in 1971. Amtrak isn’t really a railroad, except in the Washington-New YorkBoston corridor. It’s a tenant of a freight-only railroad, in our case now CSX, presently under new management that has a past reputation for strictly economizing operations to keep the hedge funds happy. And the obvious passenger-car shortage is aggravated by an ill-advised contract Amtrak signed some two-plus years ago for 250 new passenger cars from a Spanish-owned builder in Elmira – which, as it turns out, doesn’t really know much about building 2 CITY

passenger cars. Only the baggage cars and just now a couple of dining cars are up and running so far. And now comes the latest threat: our new president threatens to “zero out” Amtrak’s long-distance trains – despite the fact that they regularly sell out – in forthcoming budgets. (There goes the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago.) So cross your fingers. Meanwhile, try the train to New York City some time. Sit on the right side if you can. That ride from Albany down the Hudson is one of the prettiest in the world. BRUCE BEARDSLEY

As a lover of rail travel, it pains me to admit that it’s becoming harder to defend the issues that Amtrak passengers experience on nearly every ride. Amtrak “rents” track from CSX, the freight carrier that owns the lines that service most of New York State. Frequent delays are, for the most part, due to “freight traffic,” with Amtrak trains taking a backseat to freight trains. Amtrak is in a difficult spot. At a time when our country is seeking alternative forms of transit, and with a millennial population that is seeing the automobile as less and less of a necessity, passenger rail is poised to be a fantastic regional transportation option. But significant delays (hours, not minutes) are pervasive, making this a far less attractive option for recreational travel and an impossible option for reliable business travel. Take it from someone who has traveled across New York State over a hundred times via Amtrak in the last several years: If you have to get somewhere by a certain time, Amtrak is not a good option. But unfortunately, Amtrak simply does not have the budget or capabilities to address these issues. Amtrak’s positives

include convenience and comfort. You can arrive at the station five minutes before the train arrives and board when it gets there. You can take two bags, and they go in the racks above your seat. No security lines, no one going through your stuff... you just get on the train and go. Once you’re on board, you can sprawl out in the large seats with plenty of leg room, or walk down to the cafe car for some food and drink. It’s relaxing, and the scenery is nice. Unless major changes to service are undertaken, Amtrak will continue to be underutilized. It will simply be an “additive” for the cities it serves rather than a significant motivator for commerce and tourism in Upstate NY. I love Amtrak, but unless drastic changes are made, its potential will never be maximized. ARIAN HORBOVETZ

You can blame Amtrak’s on-time performance on CSX, the freight company that owns the tracks and dispatches the trains. They are under no obligation to keep Amtrak trains on schedule, thanks to successful lobbying by the freight industry to strike down a centuryold regulation that gives priority to passenger trains. Amtrak trains will yield to freight at the whim of CSX. As for increasing service and adding cars, NYSDOT will have to pony up more money for additional frequencies, and Amtrak will have to beg Congress for money to buy additional cars. OTTO VONDRAK

CMAC’s sound

On the recent Elvis Costello performance at CMAC: I’ve

been a big fan of Elvis Costello for a long time. The whole vibe was great, and his band was hot. Sadly, the sound was the poorest I’ve ever heard at

CMAC. It was far louder than desirable for an artist of Elvis’s wit and subtlety. I can understand that some sound engineers might mistakenly think that much volume is necessary at an outdoor show. But distortion? “Clubland” is one of my favorite Costello tunes, and I couldn’t recognize what I was listening to until midway through the first chorus. In all my years of attending CMAC shows, this is the first time I’ve experienced poor sound. COREY KEYES

Cobbs Hill living

When Governor Harriman dug his ceremonial spade at the groundbreaking of Cobbs Hill Village nearly 60 years ago, he was applauded by the elderly residents of 27 attached, ground-level, white clapboard cottages that had been cobbled together from the remains of World War II Prisoners of War barracks. This was reported to be one of the governor’s pet projects, for it provided an opportunity for the State of New York to make permanent an experiment that John Dale, the first manager for Rochester Management, had embraced. As was reported in the Democrat and Chronicle, elderly residents cheered the concept: They boasted about it being like a motel, at that time an exciting new option to the dreary hotel. Dale hired C. Storrs Barrows, a celebrated Rochester architect. The design of Cobbs Hill Village was based on the prior tenants’ strong endorsement of ground-level, private units, which he combined with good planning theory. Sidewalks are wide and fully covered. They face either lawns or a treelawn. Tenants have a shady place to read or chat with a neighbor. This became a ready-made solution to a central challenge of old age: loneliness. In a poll recently conducted by the Tenants

Association, a majority expressed a preference to remain in their present, well built, sturdy masonry homes, even though the management guaranteed them that there would be no increase in rent if they agreed to move to the two- and three-story elevator buildings now being proposed. They voted to forego the offer of the usual modern apartment amenities in order to preserve what they know works well. As police records bear out, the community has always been safe. Rents are the lowest in the city: $325 for a studio and $515 for a one-bedroom unit. With the proposed new project, rents for all but the current tenants will start at $460 for the eight studio units, and soar up to $1,200 plus utilities for 16 twobedroom units. The retirement incomes of current tenants ranges from $13,000 to $20,000, making the present Cobbs Hill Village truly affordable, consuming only 30 percent of tenants’ income for rent. That leaves just enough money monthly for meds, food, sundries, and for those with a little higher income, a car. Citywide, 60 percent of seniors living alone, with low incomes such as these, have to make tough choices every month, between rent, food, heat, meds, or transportation. Half spend more than 50 percent of their income for shelter. This proposal raises an interesting issue: Is “upto-date” always necessary? The tenants resoundingly said “no.” For them, their affordable attached “cottages” opening to the sidewalk and the easy socialization that provides, is more important. RICHARD ROSEN

(Rosen is an architect who has designed nearly a thousand units of housing for the elderly.)

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Health care is a right. Why is that debatable? The tug of war over health care drags on and on in Washington, and some days it’s high comedy. Nobody knew health care could be so complicated. But in truth, a lot about health care is complicated. We’re living longer. Hooray for that, but longevity on a mass scale carries costs: for everything from joint replacement to age-related dementia. We’ve found ways to cure, lessen, or prevent diseases, and hooray for that, too. But research is expensive. So are experimental drugs and prolonged treatment and delicate surgery and extensive therapy. We can deliver babies months before full term and, thanks to science, exceptional care, and specialized hospital units, those babies not only survive but thrive. And all of that is expensive. Who will pay the costs? Somebody has to. And there, of course, is the problem. But that problem is complicated by a couple of other issues: One, we don’t agree on whether health care is a right or a privilege. And many political leaders apparently believe it’s a privilege. Two, we still insist on financing a lot of health care through a combination of patients’ out-of-pocket payments and health insurance. As a result, Republicans in Congress suggest letting people with no health problems go without insurance – or letting them buy insurance from a different pool than people with health problems. For many Americans, that would raise the cost of insurance well past the point of affordability. Some presumably bright members of Congress pretend they don’t understand the principle of insurance. How else do we explain Illinois Republican John Shimkus, who questioned why men should have to buy a policy that covers prenatal care? The solution, as it has been all along, is a single-payer system, based on the principle that if we have a right to live, we have a right to health care that helps us live. And that access to vital health care shouldn’t be affected by how much money we have. With single-payer, as Cornell Professor Robert Frank explained in a New York Times column on Sunday, a public agency – the government – handles the financing of health care, but care is provided the way it is now, by private professionals, not by physicians and others who work for the government. In his Times column, Frank (whom we interviewed on the subject in May) focused on the issue of cost. And yes, of

If we have a right to live, we have a right to health care that helps us live.” course, paying for health care for everyone would be expensive. And yes, of course, the money to pay for it would come from taxes – more taxes than we’re paying now. But the overall cost of health care, Frank and others insist, is less under single-payer than it is now. “Substantially,” Frank says. The reasons: administrative costs are lower. The expensive health-care advertising we see now is almost eliminated. And most important, says Frank, “large government entities are able to negotiate much more favorable terms with service providers.” Sunday afternoon, The Hill news site reported that support for singlepayer is building among Congressional Democrats, particularly in the House, where Michigan’s John Conyers has 113 co-sponsors for a single-payer bill. Pipe dream? Sure. At the moment. It’s the most liberal legislators who are behind single-payer. But the public is apparently on board. A recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that 53 percent of Americans support single-payer. That’s “somewhat higher” than the support Kaiser has found previously, the foundation said. But, the foundation said, the support is “malleable.” Opinions changed with the wording, and with the predictable arguments that critics would launch – “too much government control,” for instance – opposition shot way up. “Malleable support” is better than no support, though. And it seems pretty clear that most Americans believe health care is a right, not a privilege. That message is a simple one. And it shouldn’t be hard to sell – even in the age of Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Program aims to boost supply of pathologists Medical examiners’ offices across the country are facing a shortage of forensic pathologists, the key medical investigators who perform autopsies. The Monroe County medical examiner’s office is no exception. Like other agencies across the country, it’s been dealing with an increase in autopsy cases due to the opioid epidemic and related overdose deaths, the county says. The autopsies are also taking longer to complete because of the time required for complex toxicology tests. Until recently, the county medical examiner’s office has been down two pathologists. One of the vacancies has been filled, and officials have a candidate lined up to fill the other spot; that person will start in July 2018. These struggles are why county and University of Rochester officials are settling the details of a new program, in which UR doctoral residents will be able to conduct their fellowship at the Monroe County medical examiner’s office. The

4 CITY

program, which will begin in 2019, will help meet the need for forensic pathologists locally and nationally, officials say. It’ll be the only one of its kind in New York outside of New York City. Senator Chuck Schumer says he’s pushing for the Department of Justice to support and provide funding for the program, which would help reduce overdose case backlogs in Upstate New York. He’s also asking the Department of Health and Human Services to include forensic pathology among some other specialties that qualify for loan forgiveness through the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program. The US Department of Justice’s National Commission on Forensic Science released a report on forensic pathologist need in 2015. It found that there are an estimated 500 forensic pathologists working full time in the US, and that the workload actually requires between 1,100 and 1,200 of the specialists.

Henrietta sets solar ground rules

Henrietta recently passed revisions to its zoning code governing solar power systems. FILE PHOTO

Henrietta is the latest Monroe County community to pass laws that regulate residential, business, and commercial solar projects. Solar is already alive and growing in Henrietta. Some residents have roof-mounted arrays; a few big-box retailers and warehouses have solar power systems; and the Rochester Institute of Technology has a 6,100-panel system next to its Henrietta campus. Some companies and farmland owners have also shown interest in building larger solar farms to generate and sell electricity. The town didn’t have laws directly addressing solar power systems, big and small, until the Town Board adopted the new codes in June. Board members wanted to make sure the town got ahead of the projects, says Supervisor Jack Moore. The laws allow rooftop residential systems anywhere in town, and they allow freestanding small solar-energy systems in

commercial, industrial, and rural residential districts. Property owners just need a building permit. Developers who want to build installations larger than 1,000 square feet, however, can only do so in industrial and commercial districts. And they have to get a special-use permit from the town Planning Board. During a public hearing prior to the law’s approval, Henrietta resident Jack Finnegan asked officials to let farmland owners put large systems on their property, which would add an income source. But the board “felt that we wanted to keep our residential and agricultural areas as pristine as possible,” Moore says. Other towns restrict larger solar farms, too. Brighton doesn’t allow solar arrays to serve as a property’s primary use. And Hamlin, a more rural town, restricts large systems to low- and medium-density residential districts. It also sets a 20-acre minimum lot size for the arrays.


Architects and engineers for the RBTL theater and the Morgan apartments are firming up plans. But concerns about funding and land use continue. And City Council has to approve sale of the land by seven votes, which is not a sure bet.

DEVELOPMENT | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Campaign issues include Parcel 5 When retailing was at its peak in downtown Rochester, much of Midtown Plaza occupied what is known as Parcel 5. Right now, though, Parcel 5 – arguably downtown’s most important development site – is a vast vacant lot, hosting occasional outdoor events and waiting for the future. And that future has become the focus of a serious urban planning debate and election issue. Illustrative of the debate: the Jazz Festival’s big closing-night concert earlier this month. “I’ve got 15,000 people on Parcel 5,” the festival’s John Nugent said as he whizzed up nearby on his scooter. Clearly, he’d like to be able to use Parcel 5 for future festivals. And, he noted, developer Andy Gallina’s proposal for a residential-commercial building would leave part of Parcel 5 open for events like his. The Warren administration doesn’t envision Gallina’s building or events like Nugent’s on Parcel 5, though. If designs and financing are fleshed out satisfactorily, late this year – maybe in December – the city will prepare to sell Parcel 5 to RBTL and Morgan Communities. And early in 2018, there’ll be groundbreaking for a large new theater – the Golisano Performing Arts Center – and a new apartment development.

Architects and engineers for both developments are firming up plans. Morgan, one of the largest residential developers in the region, would presumably have no problem building the apartments. And with a $25 million pledge from billionaire Tom Golisano, RBTL’s CEO Arnie Rothschild says he’s confident his organization will raise the rest of the $75 to $85 million it needs. Rothschild says RBTL is already quietly raising other private donations and seeking state money, and he says a fundraising team “will be rolled out in the

Clifford didn’t say she wouldn’t, but she said she couldn’t support it unless she was “certain about the amount of funding, that it was real and not subject to change.” A project this large has many unknowns, she said, and many times some of those unknowns don’t show up until the project is under way. “It’s not just the money,” said Council member Jackie Ortiz. “That’s a concern, but I have yet to see serious support for it in the community. Mostly the people who come to Council meetings are speaking strongly against it. The group involved with the project speak in favor of it, but we’re not seeing that from the community.” Council member Carolee Conklin also said she’s concerned about more than the theater’s financing. Like many critics of Warren’s Parcel 5 decision, Conklin is worried about the last-minute embrace of RBTL-Morgan’s proposal instead of Gallina’s. And, Conklin said: “I think that’s not the place for a performing arts center. It’s too large a footprint.” “The long-term viability of the city,” Conklin said, “depends on revenue” – tax revenue. Parcel 5, Conklin said, is one of downtown’s prime locations, and putting an arts center on it would make it tax exempt. “Why not just let it sit there for a couple of years?” she said. “We really don’t need a rush to judgment.” Council member Matt Haag echoed Conklin’s concerns. “I’m not convinced it is the best use of the site,” he said in an email on Saturday, “from a tax revenue perspective, a community impact perspective, and a ‘vibrancy’ perspective.” Haag said he’s also concerned about the impact a new theater would have on the Auditorium Theatre, which RBTL owns, and on other local performance venues. And he wonders whether competition for venues could undercut RBTL’s operations, requiring the public to subsidize it as it now does the Rhinos’ stadium and the Blue Cross Arena. All of them could change their minds, of course. But at the moment, supporters of the

RBTL-Morgan proposal have some work to do – if Council votes on the issue this year. If the vote doesn’t happen until next year, though, it’s hard to tell what might happen. Conklin and Haag are leaving Council at the end of the year, and Ortiz is running for re-election. That could change the balance on Council. Parcel 5 was already becoming an issue in the Democratic primary campaign for mayor. Both of Warren’s opponents in that race, Jim Sheppard and Rachel Barnhart, have criticized her for the Parcel 5 decision. Last week, Sheppard accused Warren of playing politics with the parcel, choosing a plan no one had heard about until her selection was announced. “We still don’t know what this project is, how it will be funded, or what the impact on the city will be,” Sheppard said. He also noted that Arnie Rothschild helped with Warren’s first mayoral campaign. “This smells like payback to me,” Sheppard said, and he said Warren should “go back to the table” on the Parcel 5 plans. (Rothschild, a longtime Republican Party consultant, said he did assist Warren in her run for mayor, although she’s a Democrat. “I was on the Cultural Commission with Lovely Warren,” he said. “She is someone I’ve worked with and believed in, very much.”) In a press conference last week, Sheppard noted that with the sudden decision to choose RBTL-Morgan over Gallina, Warren gave the public no time to comment on the new proposal before she approved it. The public hasn’t been silent since then, though. Opponents of the performing arts center, including some representatives of the arts community, have spoken at City Council meetings, as have supporters of preserving the entire parcel for green space and for uses such as concerts and pop-up retail. And with the decision likely heading to City Council in late fall, those comments will likely continue. Tim Louis Macaluso contributed to the reporting for this article.


THE 2017 CITY ELECTIONS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Hopes, fears of development: Grove Place, PLEX Second in an occasional series on neighborhoods and the fall city elections.

If you had talked to people living downtown 10 years ago, many would have said they were concerned about how to revive it. Now the worry is more about how to manage rapid redevelopment. The Grove Place neighborhood – that little nugget of old and modern townhomes, Gibbs Street, and the Eastman School of Music – is on the edge of it. Grove Place didn’t just happen, its residents say. This historic city neighborhood has survived a devastating fire, downtown’s decline, and demolition of some of its oldest homes. An active neighborhood association, rezoning, and preservation efforts have paid off. And many of its residents, some of whom moved in years ago, see themselves as urban pioneers, stewards of its recent revival. With mayoral and City Council elections not far off, they want candidates to know that they believe they’ve earned a voice in much of the development going on right next to them. They expect transparency from government, and they have mixed views about how well the current city administration has engaged them in the process. In some instances, the city, developers, and the neighborhood have been quite collaborative, says Jack Eisenberg, president of the Grove Place Association. For instance, some residents wrote letters to city and state officials earlier this year supporting proposed veterans housing near the intersection of Delevan Street and Scio Street. And city officials seemed to be responsive to the neighborhood’s strong opposition to an earlier proposal for a downtown casino, Eisenberg says. But there have been some low points, too. Some residents didn’t support filling in

the Inner Loop, and they say it has rerouted a lot of traffic to University Avenue and East Main Street. They’re also concerned about the future of Block F, the vacant lot diagonally across Main Street from the Eastman Theater. Mayor Lovely Warren’s decision on Midtown’s Parcel 5 is a contentious issue for some. Warren chose a proposal by Morgan Communities and Rochester Broadway Theatre League for a $130 million theater and a 13-story apartment tower over Andy Gallina’s condominium and commercial building. RBTL and Gallina had presented their ideas to the neighborhood association, but the RBTLMorgan proposal wasn’t made public until Warren announced her decision. “This is a great breach of trust with the neighborhood,” says resident Bob DiPaola. “I don’t want to be part of the window dressing. If we’re going to have a voice, we want to be heard.” Given the neighborhood’s proximity to current downtown development, city officials should be asking developers, “Have you connected to the neighborhood association?” says longtime resident Kim Russell. “We need to be part of the discussion.” Another issue for Grove Place residents is making the area more attractive to families with children. They say that the YMCA on East Main Street and the Eastman School of Music help to bring some younger people into the neighborhood. But Grove Place is virtually childless, they say. They would like to see the Rochester school board put greater emphasis on neighborhood schools, and though they are glad to have School 58 – one of the district’s most sought after – on University Avenue, it’s a citywide magnet school.

Development’s also an issue in the PlymouthExchange neighborhood. Residents CITY

spoke with said that they’re not pleased with recent development in their area and that they’re not optimistic about future projects, either. That’s something they intend to make that clear in the upcoming election. PLEX hugs a portion of the southwest side of the Genesee River and runs more or less parallel to the southern end of South Plymouth Avenue. Its neighbor across the river is the University of Rochester, the region’s largest employer. And during much of last decade, the UR’s impact has expanded into the neighborhood with the Daybridge Suites hotel and student housing. A second pedestrian bridge connecting the UR’s River Campus to the PLEX neighborhood opened in 2012. And PLEX has become attractive to students who want to live within walking distance of the UR. It’s also enticing to home buyers looking for bargains. But PLEX is a largely African-American neighborhood where household incomes are low. While many residents welcome the longawaited development, some are wary. They worry that gentrification is starting to push long-time residents out. New bars and restaurants have opened primarily to serve the students, but they haven’t been as inviting to the residents who live there, says Dorian Hall, a PLEX board member who is running for a seat on City Council. “I welcome development,” says longtime resident Patricia Neal. “But we want good development that benefits everybody.” Residents say they have nothing against students, but as more have come into the neighborhood, residents are finding it harder to park on the street. They have to compete with students trying to avoid paying the UR’s parking lot fees.

And some residents say that what was promoted as improvements to South Plymouth Avenue actually blocked easy access to Genesee Park. “The flow of traffic doesn’t benefit the community,” says Dorothy Hall, director of the Plymouth-Exchange Neighborhood Association. “It’s created inconvenience for us. Everything here is done to benefit the UR, not the community.” Hall says the neighborhood association doesn’t want any more corner stores, either. “We have so many seniors living on fixed incomes, and they are the ones that have to walk to these stores and they don’t have access to fresh fruits and vegetables to keep them healthy,” Hall says. And she says she doesn’t appreciate the way some politicians and developers talk, sometimes dismissively, about poor neighborhoods. “I am not a person of poverty, and I do not allow myself to be labeled,” she says. “My house is mine, the grass is cut, and there are flowers. I take care of it and intend to keep doing that as long as I can. I am not poverty.” Though some PLEX residents in a group CITY met with support Mayor Lovely Warren and others support Jim Sheppard, their mistrust of politicians, developers, and the UR is almost palpable. For instance, they’ve wrestled for years with the issue of cleanup at the former Vacuum Oil site on Flint Street. The current owners, DHD Ventures, and the Department of Environmental Conservation are currently advancing a plan to clean up the state brownfield site. But some residents fear that developers are already scooping up properties near the Vacuum Oil site cheaply. “We want to be on top of this,” Dorothy Hall says. “We don’t want more apartments for students. We want R-1 single-family zoning.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

PLANTING THE SEED

URBAN FARMS ARE PROVIDING FOOD AND HOPE IN ROCHESTER

NEIGHBORHOODS | STORY BY JEREMY MOULE | PHOTOS BY KEVIN FULLER

T

onya Noel and Kristen Walker see their garden at Jefferson Avenue and Flint Street as much more than something nice to look at. It provides their neighbors with fresh kale, corn, lettuce, cucumbers, collard greens, melons, and berries. This year, okra is also in the mix. These are the kinds of healthy foods to which the nearby residents – and really, many neighborhoods in the city’s southwest – don’t have easy access. There’s no supermarket in the PlymouthExchange neighborhood, and roughly one-third to one-half of the households in the neighborhood don’t have access to cars, according to Census tract data from the US Department of Agriculture. In other words, quite a few residents can’t just hop in their car and drive to Wegmans, Tops, or Walmart. And the corner stores rarely have fresh vegetables or fruit. The area is what is commonly referred to as a “food desert,” though the term is falling out of favor with people who tackle food issues. Noel calls it food apartheid, since the problem relates directly to disinvestment from city neighborhoods where a large number of residents are lower-income people of color. So when Noel and Walker harvest their garden, which they do two or three times a year, they give much of their 50-pound yield to neighbors on a first-come, first-served basis. They try to make sure that people who help out in some form get preference. Older community members who farmed in the South often head right for the greens, and the kids often want to get a taste of the strawberries and melons, Walker says. Noel and Walker, both of whom have full-time jobs outside of the garden, pay for most of the costs. They get some donations, which help with the cost of plants and materials. “We run on love power, because it’s literally just off the love of people and community that we do this,” Noel says. Noel and Walker are just two of the faces in Rochester’s growing urban agriculture movement.

farming and making change in their neighborhood, so they know it’s something they can do, too. They also use the gardens to teach women and families about growing their own food. Both women grew up in the PLEX neighborhood and are frustrated by the lack of investment they’ve seen. The blocks around the garden, and around their sunflower garden at Brown and Jefferson, once thrived, they say. There were community stores, butchers, and taverns, and people used their talents for the benefit of the neighborhood, Noel says. And they’re deeply concerned that creeping gentrification – the University of Rochester and some developers have taken an interest in property in PLEX – could displace longtime residents and businesses. Noel and Walker see community gardens as a way to strengthen neighborhoods and guard against gentrification. “It’s important we do our work in that neighborhood, because we’re from there and a true reflection of what could come from there just with, like, a little bit more investment,” Walker says. Urban agriculture isn’t going to solve the massive,

It’s a scene full of people with different backgrounds, skills, and approaches to working the land. But a common thread runs between each garden, from Sofrito Garden on North Union Street, which is run by the Marketview Heights Collective Action Project, to the South Wedge Victory Garden, to Foodlink’s Lexington Avenue Urban Farm: the people who work them see food and community as intimately linked. Noel and Walker, who work as the Flower City Noire Collective, say it’s important for the children who live nearby to see people of color like them

complicated problems of food access and food insecurity. Community gardens and urban farms can help make healthy food available to more people, but they aren’t going to sustain large numbers of people for any extended period of time. The gardens and farms have some far-reaching benefits that are just as important as food, however. Each is unique, and what happens in the soil and around the plots often taps directly into community needs. Seedfolk City Farm, which started in 2015, is a group of Rochesterians interested in teaching young people in the city about how they can grow their own healthy food and encouraging them to think about what they can do to improve access to healthy food in their neighborhoods, says cofounder Lisa Barker. Seedfolk brings in a few students to work the

garden; a crew of city youth and UR students built a greenhouse on the organization’s farm at the M. K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence on Jefferson Avenue. And this year, Seedfolk has hired 12 students for its summer jobs program, which is part of the local Summer of Opportunity program. Barker says the group’s hope is that the young people emerge as leaders and go on to make positive changes in their neighborhoods. “It just gives them a new set of tools,” Barker says. Amber Powers, a city school district teacher, and Lisa Zeller, a World of

Inquiry teacher and the advisor for the school’s garden club, recently formed Taproot Collective, a nonprofit group devoted to building up a culture of community gardening and urban farming in Rochester. Partly, that means Taproot’s members are doing what they can to show city youth that they can grow their own food and to help them learn how. Zeller and Powers both say that garden projects provide young people – who may be living in chaotic homes or neighborhoods – with a place where they take charge and lead, and something that they’re responsible for and can take pride in. Taproot is currently helping students and staff at Wilson high school organize a garden club. The students are meeting on Wednesdays throughout the summer to seed the effort, Zeller says. “We’re not telling them what needs to get done in the garden,” Powers says, “we’re helping them map out the needs, and they make the plan. They do it.” Urban agriculture, it turns out, is

also a powerful tool for strengthening

Community gardens can develop into neighborhood anchors, places where people can gather, says Powers, who worked in urban planning before becoming a teacher. The gardens stitch communities together, she says, which in turn helps people better advocate for their neighborhoods. “If they have a place to meet and they get to know each other, and they have that safe space to organize, it’s a lot harder to take advantage of the neighborhood,” Powers says. Taproot Collective members want to see neighborhoods cultivating their own gardens, so they offer help to people and groups who want to start a community garden or revamp an existing one. The group doesn’t create the gardens, but instead provides help with things such as planning and applying for grants. Its team includes experts in permaculture and nonprofit management, homesteaders with gardening experience, and an ethnobotanist. “The focus is not us coming in as an organization and providing them with everything that they need, but rather teaching them how to do that on their own,” Zeller says. And there several examples across Rochester of how gardens and urban farms lift up communities. Powers and Zeller point to the Sofrito Garden in the Marketview Heights neighborhood as an example.

Lisa Zeller

Community members plant and tend to the garden, which features peppers used in sofrito, a key component in some Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American dishes. Each year, the Marketview Heights Collective Action Project uses the garden’s yield for a community Sofrito Celebration. Some of the youth who work at Seedfolk sell their produce weekly at the Westside Farmers Market, where they have some pretty loyal customers, Barker says. Across town, Foodlink’s Lexington Avenue Urban Farm sits on just over an acre of former subway bed owned by the City of Rochester. Its raised beds and fruit trees are tucked back off the street, just outside an industrial area. Foodlink uses some parts of the farm, such as its hoop house, to grow produce for its own programs. But since the farm started in 2012, it has become vital to the refugees who live in the Maplewood and Edgerton neighborhoods. Foodlink worked with Mary’s Place and Rochester Refugee Resettlement services so that the families, for whom agriculture was a major part of their lives back home, had a place to grow food, says Mitch Gruber, Foodlink’s chief program officer. They had been asking Mary’s Place staff if there was a place they could do that. Initially, a dozen families had gardens at the farm, but the number has since risen to 60. The families are originally from Nepal, Burma, Bhutan, and Somalia. The farm generates approximately 8,000 pounds of food a year, says Nathaniel Mich, Foodlink’s community food access programs coordinator. Foodlink officials see the Lexington Avenue Urban Farm as such a success that

they’d like to expand it. But they can’t. The farm occupies a corner of a larger

8-acre site, which stretches between Lexington and Emerson. Gruber says he’s approached city officials about using the whole property, even buying it, but officials are reluctant to sell city-owned land unless it will be used taxable development. Foodlink’s urban farm already has an arrangement different from other community gardens in the city. The organization has a five-year agreement with the city for use of the property. Any person or group can apply for a permit from the city to put a garden on any of the 3,000 or so city-owned vacant lots, but those permits are good only from March through December and a new one is needed each year. The city can also cancel the permits at any time for code violations or if the land is needed for another purpose. Members of the Urban Agriculture Working Group, an organization formed to advocate for city policies that are friendlier to community gardens and urban farms, say the arrangement is problematic. People can invest a lot of


of hope” el Mich

effort and funding into a garden with no guarantee that they’ll reap the rewards, or that they’ll be able to build on their work the following year. “It’s an act of hope,” Nathaniel Mich says. Mich is also involved with the South Wedge Victory Gardens, which this year experienced the very thing that Working Group members are worried about. Managers for the 11-year old community garden on Hamilton Street were informed earlier this year that the city planned to sell the property, which had been built up with raised beds over the years. Members pushed back and the sale didn’t happen, so the garden is growing this year. The Urban Agriculture Working Group is asking the city to consider five-year permits for established gardens. That way, community members and organizations can be better assured that their money and effort won’t go to waste. The members also want Rochester to follow Buffalo’s lead and work urban agriculture into zoning codes. Specifically, they want the city to

recognize gardens and urban farms as an acceptable primary use of property. In simple terms, that change would allow someone who owns vacant land in the city to use if for a garden or urban farm, and to install things such as sheds or water hookups to support it. Right now, those things can only be put on residential properties if there’s also a house on it. For example, Seedfolk is able to have a greenhouse at its farm because it’s not a primary structure; the Gandhi Institute is located in a house on the property. Foodlink has sheds, a hoop house, and a water hook-up on its city-owned property, but it had to negotiate with city officials to get permission for them. In general terms, the working group and other urban ag advocates want the city to recognize that community gardens and urban farms are their own form of community and economic development. They fuel neighborhood self-determination and help residents lead healthier lives, Mich says. “The time is now,” says Taproot’s

Powers. “The timing is right. There’s a chance to make good policy changes within the city’s zoning ordinance and real estate policies. People are organized. People have a motivation to do this now.”

Practicing WhichCraft [ FEATURE ] BY CHRIS OSBURN

WhichCraft Brews 1900 EMPIRE BOULEVARD SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY, 10 A.M. TO 10 P.M.; THURSDAY, 10 A.M. TO 11 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 10 A.M. TO MIDNIGHT 222-2739; WHICHCRAFTBREWS.COM

Riding a recent wave of new Rochester breweries, WhichCraft Brews (1900 Empire Boulevard) joined the local craft ranks when it opened on July 8. The brewery was the brainchild of owners Chris Prince, John Moscato, Scott Baxter, and Lori Weber-Baxter. Prince and Moscato already operated 585 Rochester Beer in Brockport, and the idea for WhichCraft “actually started as a continuation of the bottle shop concept,” Prince says. Head brewer Brendan Kewin comes from a family of home brewers, and Kurt Wielgosz, another of the brewers, has extensive home brew experience and was looking to turn his passion into a career. Prince was introduced to craft beers about five years ago, and “my interest has continued to elevate me to the point of wanting to learn how to brew, myself,” he says. “I was fortunate enough to have Brendan and Kurt show me the ropes over the last few years,

and now we find ourselves on a brewing team together at WCB.” WhichCraft’s brewpub has 55 draft beer lines, a 3 BBL brewery upstairs, and an indoor food truck. Staying true to its original bottle shop business, the site also offers packs, cases, and crowlers (32-ounce cans sealed by a machine on site) of beer. “Customers are welcome to visit just for picking up a six-pack on the way home from work for example — drinks do not have to be consumed on site,” Prince says. The stationary food truck was custom built by Rochester’s M Design Vehicles. Customers order from the truck at the driver’s window and pick up at a window on the side closer to the rear of the vehicle. The condiment station is where the engine used to be. WhichCraft’s menu includes Shareables like a giant soft pretzel called the Pretzilla ($13), buffalo chicken-stuffed eggrolls called Crunch Rolls ($9), and baked potato poutine ($10). The Whiches on the menu include a Cuban sandwich with chorizo ($12), a pulled pork Philly ($12), and crab cake grilled cheese ($14). The WhichCraft space itself is massive at just under 5,000 square feet, with polished and stained concrete floors and an open ceiling with exposed ductwork. Siding made of repurposed

pallet wood gives the interior a unique feel. A 1,500-square-foot mezzanine is upstairs, and has a large window that gives patrons a view of the brewery below. There’s also a covered patio with outdoor seating. The 55 draft lines will feature local, national, and foreign craft beer selections. WhichCraft also offers house cocktails made with Southern Tier Distilling spirits, and Glenora Lakehouse series chardonnay and Riesling wine on tap as well as several other bottled wine selections. Obviously, opening a brewery is no easy task. There’s bound to be hiccups and the

WhichCraft crew has run into a big one. “We won’t have WCB house-made brews available until closer to the end of July due to some equipment delays for the brewery,” Prince says. Coming up, though, the brewery will have a hopped kolsch, “Thunder Kolsch,” which combines the crisp light fruitiness of a Germanstyle kolsch with a citrus-forward hop profile of an East Coast-style IPA. “The original intention was to open with 5 out of the 55 taps dedicated to WhichCraft made beers,” Prince says. The other four are slated to be a stout, Scotch ale, hefeweizen, and an East Coast-style IPA. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

With a bit of country and a decent amount of grungy surf vibes, there’s a dazed, blissedout quality to the music that is nothing but appealing.

Being a musician means immortality, even if you no longer walk this Earth. Groveland’s off-the-grid cat, Bob Bunce, recently suffered the loss of his brother, Randy. And while resting up from a shoulder injury last winter, he started going through his brother’s journals full of poems and song lyrics, which had never been realized. Bunce worked up an album’s worth of tunes and brought them to his band, Rural Delivery, and they hammered out 10 songs, giving each track a kind of folky, Americana lope. All the lyrics on “Rand I Pronounced RandEye” are by Randy, and his brother arranged all the music in a sort of posthumous collaboration. “I did all the music arranging with his vibe in mind,” Bob Bunce says. Musically, the album is textbook Rural Delivery, save for the electronic madness on the Captain-Beefheart-in-space song “Spirits Lifted” and on the aptly titled “So Let’s Rock,” where Bunce turns it up and lets the guitar out of the chorale. A fitting tribute and testimony any musician would be proud of. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Mad Cow Tippers temper its rockabilly with hysterical misappropriation of the genre’s traditions. The band’s new album, “Rodeo Radio,” opens with a spot-on Scotty Moore, slap-back lament over a song about addiction to cable TV before morphing into singing praises of Amazon’s Kindle Fire. MCT will have you laughing beer out your nose. The music is serious, but the lyrics are another story; just drop the needle randomly into “Rodeo Radio” and dig the yuks. Mad Cow Tippers is a world full of excessive beer consumption, Japanese Elvis impersonators, pork rinds, trailer trash, and — my personal favorite — shopping for all your homicide clean-up needs at Walmart. Compared to when the band plays live, “Rodeo Radio” is a bit more subdued. Billy Hill’s guitar is Gretsch-y, sweet, and twangy, except when he unleashes the demon on “Trailer Trashy Tina” — another track I dug deeply. “Rodeo Radio” is tons of grown-up fun with just a twist of twisted. It might be smart to keep some napkins handy. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Twenty-five years in the life of [ INTERVIEW ] BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

/ MO VIES 16 CITY JULY 12 - 18, 2017

Few bands have had a better start than Arrested Development did in 1992, when its debut album, “3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life of…,” sold four million copies and earned the group two Grammy Awards. Rolling Stone named Arrested Development its band of the year, and film director Spike Lee asked the Atlanta-based hip-hop ensemble to write the theme song (“Revolution”) for his Malcolm X biopic. While the music itself was satisfying, and Arrested Development was atypical in its lineup (the group included a spiritual advisor, Baba Oje), “3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life of…” was idealistic and well-intentioned — the star was the band’s message. It caught its audience with honey compared to the vinegar of its gangsta rap contemporaries. The band’s next studio release, “Zingalamaduni” (1994), was less successful, and Arrested Development split in 1996 after eight years. Front man Speech embarked on a solo career. Arrested Development reunited in 2000, and the act still tours all over the world. It has recently produced two new albums: “This Was Never Home” and “Changing the Narrative,” which is available as a free download on the band’s website. Arrested Development will perform on Saturday, July 15, as part of the Rochester MusicFest at Genesee Valley Park. The festival takes place Friday, July 14, (gates open at 4 p.m.; Friday tickets are $28-$45), and Saturday, July

15, (gates open at noon; Saturday tickets are $40$70). Advance two-day tickets are $50. For more information, check out rochestermusicfest.com. CITY spoke with Arrested Development’s leader Speech at his home in Fayetteville, Georgia, during a tour break. An edited transcript of that conversation follows. For the complete interview, go online to rochestercitynewspaper.com. CITY: What is the core of Arrested Development? Speech: Honestly, we’re a group that loves music.

We would do all of this stuff for free, that’s how much we love it. At the same time, we feel this desperate need to bring some purpose to what we do. So there are messages of hope, upliftment, and solutions, hopefully, in the overall theme of what we do, as well. Arrested Development was probably the first band to have an elder in a group. What was the idea behind that?

I went to Jamaica for a party when I was 18 years old. There were all these young people, hot women, and yet there were all these elders there. It was the first time in my life I had ever seen that, because usually in America, the elders did their thing and there was a generation gap, and the youth, we did our thing. It wasn’t like that in Jamaica, and I really loved it; I loved being around the entire community. When I got back to America, I just stored in my heart that one day I would love to have somebody older in a hip-hop group. So I asked a guy that I knew from college to be in the group. At first he said “no” — of course he was 57 years old and I was 18. But later he realized that I was a Thomas kid — my last name

It’s evolved a number of times. When we first came out, there was this extreme curiosity. We had a super conscious black audience throughout the world — we would go to London, for example, and our audience would be primarily black. Once we got a little more popular, there would be a mixed crowd … that same crowd we had initially with more whites, Asians, and Latinos in the audience, and that was incredible. And then, after a while, it was just mainly a white audience, and now it’s coming back around. It’s been really interesting to be around this long in the industry. How much touring does the band do?

We typically do around 60 dates a year, and of course, that means more travel time than 60 days. For instance, we went to Koh Tao, Thailand, a couple of weeks ago, but we were there for 10 days and we only had one show. At this stage of my life I want to enjoy everywhere I go. When we were younger, we would go into a town, stay for a day and be back on the bus going to the next city. Generally, we don’t do that as much now. We tend to do shows where we are hanging in for a little bit and enjoying the scene and the people. Arrested Development quotes Frederick Douglass on its website, “It’s easier to build strong children than it is repair broken men.” He and Susan B. Anthony are both buried here in Rochester. What does that quote mean to you?

Frederick Douglass in general means the world to us. To me, he is a visionary, a bold, charismatic brave American hero. I deeply respect pretty much everything he’s ever put out there for all of us to benefit from. That particular phrase, it resonates for me because as a person who really wants to put my best foot forward to help people, I realize that we have a limited time on this planet and it does matter who you try to help the most. Sometimes, if the mountain is very high and there are a lot of problems that you are facing and trying to correct, then it helps to prioritize. That quote helps any person who has a heart to help others realize that there’s a lot of children that aren’t corrupted yet … you know, life sort of gives it to you. There’s a lot of children that have a great chance to live an amazing life, and we can help a whole new generation to not have the same issues that a lot of us and other generations have had to unfortunately endure and go through.

PUNK | LYDIA LUNCH’S RETROVIRUS

Pissed off punk progenitor and ex-Rochesterian Lydia Lunch delivers a seething, vitriolic set of spoken word gold. I first got hip to her poetry when she co-penned the book “Adulterers Anonymous.” I read that, and I began to understand punk as defined from within. It ruined me. And Lunch is going to ruin me again. She’s back in town with her band Retrovirus.

Comedy

skilled storyteller. Do you feel telling humorous, non-fiction stories is an underrated part of comedy (as opposed to strictly telling jokes)?

I think that a lot of my favorite comedians tell stories, Tig Notaro, Doug Stanhope. There’s something about stories that keep me focused and engaged for a full hour. Sometimes I’ll watch a comedian on TV and I’ll love five minutes of their show, but then I see their whole show and it’s a little bit repetitive, whereas there are certain comedians who don’t really translate on TV and have an amazing hour-long show. Along those lines, have you noticed more platforms for people to tell their own stories?

Comedian Mike Birbiglia will come through Rochester on Friday and Saturday on his Working It Out tour. He’ll play two shows each night at Comedy @ The Carlson. PHOTO BY EVAN SUNG

True story [ INTERVIEW ] BY SCOTT PUKOS

Mike Birbiglia FRIDAY, JULY 14, AND SATURDAY, JULY 15 COMEDY @ THE CARLSON, 50 CARLSON ROAD 7 P.M. AND 9:30 P.M. EACH NIGHT $25 | 426-6339; CARSONCOMEDY.COM; BIRBIGS.COM

Mike Birbiglia has mastered the art of telling a story. Whether it’s recapping the time he told religious jokes at a Christian college or explaining about that one time he accidentally swore in front of The Muppets, Birbiglia’s stand-up comedy showcases his ability to crush an anecdote. One particularly popular story — about sleep-diving out a closed second floor window — led to a one-man show, a comedic memoir, and eventually Birbiglia’s directorial debut, “Sleepwalk With Me.” His second film, last summer’s “Don’t Think Twice,” also featured an intimate look at a topic Birbiglia is familiar with: improv comedy. Birbiglia will perform in Rochester at Comedy @ the Carlson on Friday, July 14, and Saturday, July 15, as part of his Working It Out tour, and he’ll be back this fall at the University of Rochester on October 14. CITY sent a few questions to Birbiglia about his connection to Rochester, his current tour, and why a partnership with Fozzie Bear is unlikely. CITY: You recently tweeted “In 2 weeks I’m performing in Rochester, NY where everyone in America has at least one cousin.” So I have to ask, you have a bunch of relatives here, right? Mike Birbiglia: Growing up, my family would

drive from Massachusetts to Rochester with some 20 CITY JULY 12 - 18, 2017

regularity because my cousin Carolyn and my Aunt Lucy lived there. So I spent a lot of time in Rochester in places that I don’t remember that well. That said, I’m not alone. We all have relatives in Rochester, even if we don’t have relatives in Rochester. The shows at The Carlson are among your last shows in The Working It Out tour. You described the tour as “raw, semi-improvised, unfinished.” So how has the tour evolved over the months?

These shows are definitely some of the coolest shows I’ll have on the whole tour because the rooms themselves are very intimate, 200 to 250 people. And a lot of nights I’m experimenting with a new order, or a new story that I might never tell again, or a new joke I might never tell again. So there’s an energy to the shows that is completely unique to the whole process. This specific show in Rochester will definitely be the most polished of the Working It Out shows by virtue of it being the final week of the tour. Can you give us a quick preview of what to expect during your Rochester shows?

I try to tell people nothing about my shows, the same way that when I like a filmmaker or comedian, I don’t want to know anything about their movie or their special. I just want to know from a reliable source that it’s good and that it’s worth my time. And so I apologize that your only source is me and that I’m possibly an unreliable source. That being said, if you like “Sleepwalk With Me,” and you like “Don’t Think Twice,” and you like “Thank God For Jokes,” I guarantee you’ll like the show. With your stand-up, your book, films — along with your work on The Moth and This American Life, in mind — you’re clearly a

Last summer, I went on tour with “Don’t Think Twice” and I visited 20 to 30 different improv theaters across the country. There’s definitely an explosion of improv theaters, storytelling shows, open mics, and stand-up platforms where all types of people are telling their stories. That can be a good thing and a bad thing. If you go on a good night, it’s a great thing. How great is it to be able to work and collaborate with your brother? [Joe Birbiglia has collaborated with Mike on multiple projects, including “Sleepwalk With Me” and “My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend”]

It’s good. Joe introduced me to comedy when I was in 8th grade and he was a senior in high school. He was writing satire issues of his school newspaper, and I was sort of a fly on the wall when he was writing these comedy pieces. That really gave me the bug for comedy when I was really young. He took me to see Steven Wright when I was about 16 at the Cape Cod Melody Tent, and at that point I was convinced that I had to be a comedian. To be able to work with him after all these years of being comedy fans together has been a really lucky turn in my life. Is there a future tour with you and Fozzie Bear in the works?

I don’t think so. I will say there was a funny thing that happened during “Thank God for Jokes” Off-Broadway where I was doing Fozzie Bear and Animal in the show as part of a story. One night in the front row was Frank Oz, who is Fozzie Bear and Animal. It was a very surreal experience because I instantly felt self-conscious and I wanted to honor these brilliant characters and do them justice, but he was a very supportive audience member and he seemed to like it. After the show he came back and I talked to him and I asked him how to do the voice of Animal and he goes, “The key things to know about Animal are that he loves drums and sex and he eats glass.” So if anyone is trying to do an Animal impression, just know that he eats glass.

FESTIVAL | CONVENTION DAYS Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the first women’s rights convention in July 1848. Now, 169 years later, Convention Days 2017 will begin on Friday, July 14, commemorating the day the 1848 convention was announced in Seneca Falls. This year’s theme is “We Are the Ones We’ve Been Waiting For,” and will include keynote speaker Elizabeth Nyamayaro, senior advisor to UN Women’s Under Secretary-General and the head of the #HeForShe movement. The weekend begins with a press conference in the Wesleyan Chapel, the location of the first convention. The second day is declared to be Indigenous Women’s Day, with a concert by Joanne Shenandoah and basket-weaving and cornhusk demonstrations by Ganondagan State Historic Site. The first convention paved the way for the women’s rights and suffrage movements. Twelve resolutions were passed in 1848 — 11 were passed unanimously, with push-back against only one resolution, which called for a woman’s right to vote. With support from Frederick Douglass and after a long debate, the resolution was passed. Since then, conventions have been held annually to address women’s rights issues and resolutions. Convention Days will take place Friday, July 14, to Sunday, July 16, beginning at 9 a.m. each day, and going into the night. For full programming and information, visit go.nps. gov/ConventionDays2017.

Summer of Pride [ PREVIEW ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Rochester Pride FOR MORE INFORMATION ON EVENTS GO TO GAYALLIANCE.ORG/PRIDE

In the summer of 1967, nearly 75,000 people descended upon San Francisco in search of peace and free love and hoping to break away from the conservative ideals of their parents and other authority figures. This summer marks the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, and the organizers of Rochester Pride found the themes of that summer relevant and timely — especially due to the current political climate. The 2017 theme for Rochester Pride would be “Summer of Love.” “There is a real need for peace, love, and harmony,” says Gay Alliance Executive Director Scott Fearing. “It made a lot of sense as a committee as something to emphasize as a theme this year.” Below is a breakdown of some of the events happening for Pride.

THEATER | ‘TORCH SONG TRILOGY’ In Harvey Fierstein’s dramatic “Torch Song Trilogy,” protagonist Arnold Beckoff gives a glimpse into his life as a gay, Jewish, torch song-singing drag queen living in New York City during the 1970’s and 80’s. The play (really three plays told over three acts) takes you through different phases of Beckoff’s life, spanning several years, as he struggles with love, acceptance, and child-rearing, and witnesses the Stonewall riots and the beginning of the AIDS crisis. Black Sheep Theatre will present a staged reading of Fierstein’s works this weekend, with actor Billy DeMetsenaere as Arnold. Directed by Kristy Angevine-Funderburk. Readings of “Torch Song Trilogy” will take place Saturday, July 15, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, July 16, at 2 p.m., at Black Sheep Theatre (274 North Goodman Street, Studio D-313). Tickets are $10 in advance; $12 at the door. For reservations, call 861-4816, or email tickets@blacksheeptheatre.org. — BY TORI MARTINEZ Sassy in the Wedge.

“SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY JON WATTS NOW PLAYING

We didn’t really need another Spider-Man movie. With three different live-action iterations of the web-slinging hero appearing across six different films over the span of the last 15 years, it was hard to work up enthusiasm for another. But if we had to get a new Spidey film, I’m at least glad we’ve gotten one as good as “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” Fresh characterizations and an appealing cast set this new film apart. While the “Homecoming” of the title is definitely a nod to Spidey being welcomed back under the Marvel Studios umbrella, it’s also a reference to how the film devotes as much time to exploring typical teenage concerns — complete with a plotline about Peter Parker fretting over asking his crush to the school dance — as it does to his heroic exploits. It’s a superhero film as coming-of-age teen comedy, and the results work remarkably well. It may not reach the heights of Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2” (still the gold standard of SpiderMan films), nor is there anything as instantly iconic as the upside-down kiss in Raimi’s first film (though it does get a clever reference here), but “Homecoming” is a metric ton of fun. Foregoing the origin story allows director Jon Watts (and the film’s five other credited writers) to hit the ground running. As the film begins, Peter Parker (Tom Holland, who despite

being 21, makes a completely convincing 15-year-old) is still buzzing from the events of “Captain America: Civil War.” After getting a taste of the big leagues, fighting alongside (and against) the Avengers, taking on petty street-level crime as the “friendly neighborhood Spider-Man” just doesn’t hold the same thrill. So he waits by the phone for the call from Tony Stark’s assistant, Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), who’s been tasked with keeping tabs on the overeager teen. But that call never seems to come. In the meantime he carries on with business as usual, trying to be a typical teen at the Queens math and sciences institution he attends, while hiding his

superpowered identity from the world, including his dear Aunt May (Marisa Tomei). It helps that the high school scenes are an unending delight, and the young cast that fills them are wonderful. Scene-stealing newcomer Jacob Batalon is a lot of fun as Peter’s best friend, Ned. Peter’s classmate Liz (Laura Harrier) is the source of his long-simmering crush, and there’s also Michelle (Zendaya, delightful) as a sardonic fellow member of the school’s Academic Decathlon team. Tony Revolori makes for a nice twist on the Flash Thompson character, playing him as more smarmy douchebag than stereotypical jock bully. One of the best parts of


the film is the way it places its characters in a realistically diverse, multicultural world without ever calling attention to itself. That focus on smaller, more personal stakes extends to the film’s villain, Adrian Toomes aka the Vulture (played be a fantastic Michael Keaton). “Birdman” jokes aside, Keaton’s character gets real motivation for his actions: he’s not bent on world domination, just looking for a way to provide for his family. He’s made to be a little sympathetic, getting more screen time than most villains — in fact he’s the first character we’re introduced to as the film opens — and that makes all the difference in the world. Vulture bucks the trend of weak Marvel screen villains to become one of the MCU’s very best. In some previous entries in the MCU, the ties to the rest of the universe can feel forced, but Watts makes them feel natural. From working in the Battle of New York from “The Avengers” to show how the presence of super-powered individuals has had rippling effects on this world, to the appearance by Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark as distant mentor/father figure for Peter, it succeeds in building up the film’s reality. Tom Holland gives Peter an eager puppy dog enthusiasm that borders on naiveté. In his desperation to prove himself, he’s prone to rash decisions and poor judgement (like any other teenager). Peter’s still a kid, which adds a sense of danger that previous incarnations didn’t have. There’s a moment late in the film where we get a reminder of how young and inexperienced Peter is, when we see him get truly terrified for his life, and it’s heartrending. From the early cockiness to that climactic moment, Holland plays it all impeccably. “Spider-Man: Homecoming” gives us the best live-action depiction we’ve gotten of Peter Parker thus far, and I actually found myself looking forward to seeing where the next few films take the character. My Spidey-Sense tingles at the possibilities. Visit rochestercitynewspaper.com on Friday for additional film coverage, including a review of “Lost in Paris.”

Italian getaway [ BONUS FEATURES ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

The Italian Film Series has premiered a contemporary Italian film each month since April at The Little Theatre. These one-time-only screenings are dedicated to showing off the breadth of the country’s modern cinematic offerings, and Rochester audiences get a chance to view films that might otherwise have never made it to local theaters. The series’ July selection will be “Like Crazy” (“La pazza gioia”), a wonderful seriocomedy following the friendship between two female patients at a Tuscan psychiatric institution. The flighty and privileged Beatrice (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) walks around like she owns the place (and indeed claims her family donated the facility’s sprawling grounds). She’s quite possibly delusional and prone to wild mood swings, even as it’s clear her bulldozing personality covers an intense inner fragility. Meanwhile, the newlyadmitted Donatella (Micaela Ramazzotti) is withdrawn and obviously still reeling from an unknown traumatic event. But something draws Beatrice to the younger woman, and before long the pair have impulsively escaped, setting out in search of some sense of freedom. Director Paolo Virzì and co-writer Francesca Archibugi take their time in doling out the specifics of Donatella’s past, filling in details of her relationship to her young son and the desperate actions that led to their separation and her being institutionalized. What could have been a formulaic riff on “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” reveals itself to be something a bit more complicated as it builds toward a humane and deeply emotional conclusion. “Like Crazy” will screen on Thursday, July 27, at The Little (240 East Avenue). The film starts at 7 p.m., but the evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with aperitif and antipasto at Amore Italian Restaurant (1750 East Avenue), and finishes with post-film conversation at Via Girasole Wine Bar (3 Schoen Place) in Pittsford. Film tickets are $10, students and seniors $8. Find more information at ameritalroc.com.

Coming attractions

The Little Theatre’s Saturday Night Rewind series will show Steven Spielberg’s beloved family sci-fi classic “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” on glorious 35mm on Saturday, July 15, at 7 p.m. (an earlier-than-usual start time). Standard Little ticket prices apply. Catch last year’s Oscar nominee for best picture and box office smash “Hidden Figures” when Movies With a Downtown View returns for the summer with free outdoor film screenings in Martin Luther King Jr. Park at Manhattan Square (353 Court Street). The inspirational story of three female African-American mathematicians whose work was critical to launching NASA’s first manned missions to space, “Hidden Figures” will screen on Friday, July 14. Lawn opens at 7 p.m., and the movie begins at dusk (approximately 8:45 p.m.). On November 8, 2016, more than 10,000 people placed their “I Voted” stickers on the grave of Susan B. Anthony in Mt. Hope Cemetery. Members of the Rochester Documentary Filmmakers Group were there, cameras in hand, to capture the historic occasion. They were also there the following day to find a drastically different scene. The resulting short documentary “Election Day 2016” gets its world premiere with a screening on July 22, in the Carriage House of the Susan B. Anthony Museum (17 Madison Street). Screens at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Admission is free, though seating is limited. Visit susanbanthonyhouse.org for details. Each month, the Alternative Music Film

Society hosts a free screening of a music-themed feature at the Memorial Art Gallery (500 University Avenue). On Thursday, July 20, they’ll rock the MAG with “Garbage: One Mile High … Live,” featuring the Shirley Mason-fronted band returning from a five-year hiatus to perform at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, Colorado. The movie starts at 6:45 p.m. — and attendees can get halfprice admission to the gallery until 9 p.m. Visit Lakeshore Record Exchange (370 Park Avenue), call 244-8476, or visit alternativemusic.com/film for info. On Friday, July 21, The Little partners with the ImageOut LGBT Film Festival to host a special night of programming to celebrate Rochester Pride. At 6:30 p.m., vogue the house down with “Kiki,” a documentary on the New York City ballroom scene, co-presented with the Rochester Association of Black Journalists (RABJ). Then stick around for “The Babadook,” the terrifying psychological horror flick centering around the monstrous newlyminted LGBT icon. That film begins at 9:45 p.m. Normal ticket prices apply. If you screen it, they will come, and on Friday August 4, the Dryden does just that with a special showing of “Field of Dreams.” Director Phil Alden Robinson will be in attendance. Part of the Dryden’s “America’s Favorite Pastime” series. Tickets to the Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones baseball classic are $15, and $12 for members and students.

Classic Dutch Colonial

145 Irvington Road

Everyone loves a classic. And what could be more classic than a center entrance, early 20th century Dutch Colonial Revival style house on a quiet, tree-lined city street? With its symmetrical façade, original wood windows, shutters with pine tree-shaped cutouts, colonnaded portico, and tidy yard, the home at 145 Irvington Road offers elegant, classic curb appeal. Inside this 1,848 square foot home you’ll find more classic early 20th century detailing, three bedrooms, and plenty of flexibility to tailor the home to your family’s needs. Stepping into the home through the tiled entrance vestibule, you have the dining room to your left and the large living room to your right. A broad brick fireplace serves as the focal point of the living room. Throughout both rooms are original hardwood floors with an inlaid border around the edges—a nice touch that adds an extra bit of sophistication. Unpainted wood moldings and doors (with original glass knobs) proliferate throughout the first and second floors. The kitchen is roomy and serviceable with potential for updates if vintage mid-century kitchens aren’t your thing. A rear wing that connects to the living room and kitchen holds a second living space, which could function as a kid’s playroom, a home office, or a den. The room has a wood stove and provides a second entrance to the backyard and deck.

The deck overlooks a small, tidy urban backyard with potential for more extensive gardening or minimal maintenance. There is also a two-car garage. On the second floor, you’ll find three bedrooms, a linen closet, and a completely updated bathroom. One bedroom has twin closets flanking a cozy little windowed alcove. Another bedroom wraps around the back of the house to include the rear wing. This room could be adapted to a spacious master suite or any number of other uses. The unfinished attic has plenty of room for out-of-sight storage. Located in the Upper Mount Hope neighborhood, 145 Irvington Rd. is an excellent investment. It’s just a few blocks to the University of Rochester Medical Center, UR’s main campus, and College Town. With the Olmsted-designed Genesee Valley Park, the Genesee Riverway Trail, and the Erie Canalway Trail an easy bike ride away, outdoor recreational opportunities and alternative transit options are at your fingertips. 145 Irvington Rd. is listed at $187,500 with Lynn and Glenn Miller of RE/MAX Plus. Contact them at 585-729-8550 for more information. by Caitlin Meives Caitlin is the Preservation Planner at The Landmark Society and a city resident.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 28 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone from your past will want to reconnect. The chance to make the most of a relationship will unfold through the signals you send physically and the words you speak. Don’t be afraid to share your intentions; if you love someone, let him or her know how you feel. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Reflect on past relationships and the ups and downs you’ve been through when dealing with love and romance. Lift some of the barriers that have stopped you from making a commitment. Let go of baggage so you can move forward with an open heart and mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be the one on the move, getting involved in all sorts of activities and enjoying life. Your biggest problem will be making up your mind. Put honesty first and foremost. If you don’t lead anyone on, you won’t have to stress over disappointing someone. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Look for someone different. It’s time to explore new avenues and options when it comes to love. Dating similar people over and over again doesn’t lead to personal growth. See what’s out there and you will meet someone who is remarkable and enhances your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Chat and charm will result in romantic opportunities. Give whoever interests you a chance to do a little talking as well so that you can rest assured you aren’t wasting your time with someone you’ll tire of easily. The person who matches you mentally, physically and emotionally is the keeper. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t waste time pining over someone who isn’t available. Explore your options and look for someone who shares your interests. Spending time getting to know someone you enjoy being with and building a good friendship first will eventually lead to a solid and long-lasting union.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be drawn to someone with strength and courage, but before giving in, be sure you don’t get more than you bargained for. The traits that attract you will eventually repel you. Look for someone as peace-oriented as you if you want to avoid being dictated to and bullied. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t settle for normal when you thrive on the unique. The person who boasts a bohemian personality full of life, laughter and love will inspire and motivate you to find inner peace and the creativity you possess. Take part in activities that attract those less predictable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your emotions will not send a clear message when it comes to love. You’ll believe everything you hear if you have chemistry with someone. Before you give in to the rush of love, take a closer look at the motives and the background of the person who is mesmerizing you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look for someone lively and challenging, but not someone looking to be a burden and taken care of financially. The partner who offers to pay his or her own way as well as match you physically and mentally is the one you should be saying yes to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Share your story, background and future dreams with someone you think is special, and you’ll find out quickly if he or she fits into your plans. Love at first sight is quite possible, and if you address the small but important long-term goals you both want, a commitment is possible. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Tread carefully when it comes to affairs of the heart. Don’t try to be what someone is looking for in a partner. Just be yourself and see what happens. If you send a false message, it will be difficult to revert to who you are and what you want.
