Rocha-chatter

There seemed to be an inordinate amount of road construction in Rochester last year. I heard it was because it was an election year. Route 65 got a roundabout that some people love and some hate.

A little closer to me in the city, Atlantic Avenue was shut down for a complete overhaul. Yay for a new road with nice brick sidewalk inlays. Boo for several businesses that moved out because their accessablity went down the tubes while the work took place. The Elite Bakery and Leo's Bakery left and I no longer had readily available baked goods.

Atlantic is finished now and I just noticed that there is a new business moving in. The Lobster Trap in Fairport is opening up another shop right on Atlantic in the city. Most people I know swear by The Lobster Trap as THE place to get seafood in the area as they regularly go up to Maine to get fresh lobsters. There have been a couple times we were driving east of Rochester and spotted The Lobster Trap truck making it's rounds.

The cardboard sign in their window says they open on February 20th. So now instead of swinging by and picking up cookies I will be picking up lobsters.

(I, however, will still have no part in the cooking of the lobsters... I don't care if that squealing noise is just steam escaping and not the lobster wailing about his impending doom)
