It's hard to find a good place to donate to these days. How do you know that your donated items…read morewill actually go to people in need? I had a closet that needed to be purged desperately and Saint's Place has a community in need of gently used women's clothes. When my friend told me that they'll use my old clothes right away, I was sold. It was a match made in philanthropic heaven, so to speak. Saint's Place is located in Pittsford, adjacent to the St. Louis Church. Their goal is to aid and assist newly arrived refugees by giving them clothes, housewares, tutorial services, and by setting them up in new apartments. Lots of families rely on Saint's Place to get set up upon arriving in Rochester. What I really liked the most is that the refugees pick out clothes and leave with them that same day. Here's how it works: you can just leave your donations on the back porch and grab a receipt if you itemize. Make sure you keep everything together in a plastic bag to protect from the elements! For those of you who love a good garage sale, Saint's Place has an annual super sale. This is noteworthy because it's the one time of the year when they accept donations of non-children's books. Saint's Place normally only takes children's books because the refugees are only now learning to speak English. Clothing donations should be of the casual variety, maybe a little business casual to be thrown in. Pickup is available as well if you can't drop off your donations easily. Of course, volunteering is also good too! I'm glad my friend told me about Saint's Place because I know my old clothes will be put to good use here. If you need to clean out your closet, consider donating here, there are lots of families who will be glad you and I did.

I understand goodwill is a second hand shop. However I think it's pretty crazy they are selling 2…read morechairs for $25 that look like this.... I think this place has gone down hill. Some items are super worn down, dirty, or expensive for used things. I love thrift stores because of the uniqueness of what you will find. But this is not okay in my opinion. I would rather spend a little bit more, if not the same price for brand new. Just some food for thought.

I love this location but they have changed up the layout and it's not for the better. The aisles…read moreare longer and more congested making it difficult to navigate. There isn't much room for two shopping carts to pass each other. They moved the end cap items to areas that don't have a lot of room, again making it very congested. There is a ton of extra room up front, and I am not sure why they left it like this. I wish they would put it back to how it originally was to make shopping easier. I feel like they will lose sales because people aren't going to want to deal with the crowdedness.

With so much traffic at the intersection of Turk Hill and Whitney Rd and almost getting hit a couple times, Officer Thompson put his car behind mine so I wouldn't get hit. Despite, him getting almost hit as well and the drivers not stopping when told too, he stayed there until the tow truck got there. Finally, after 2 1/2 hours, I was on my way to work. Just some advice for drivers, slow down when there are situations like this one. No job is worth your life or someone else's life. Again, thank you Officer Thompson. Sherry

I took the 90 minutes tour through Lock 32, which goes through it, tours a bit, and turns around. Light refreshments including beer and wine are available. The tour guides are well informed and the staff very friendly. It's a pleasant and educational trip. Adults pay $30, with lower fees for seniors, military and kids. Very much worthwhile.

Last October, when the Fall color was at its peak, I decided to take another canal tour. A lunch tour to lock 32. At the last minute a friend wanted to join me. I called the office, and they were able to accommodate us, but not able to get the lunch for her. We had a blast. We shared the Fairport Lunch, drank seltzer water and beer and shared the boat with a group on a surprise tour that ended on the canal tour. This trip was completely different from my previous one in the opposite direction. The experiences were different and the colors of the foliage enviable; gold, reds, oranges. The weather was perfect, partly cloudy, and then the sun broke and warmth came up and we had a sunny day Toward the end of the ride, the wind started to pick up. Along the way there were historical facts given by the crew. And we sang the famous "Low Bridge" song I was very happy, and my friend was also impressed with the trip. I highly recommend this tour.
