Any recommendations on a memory care nursing home?

My aunt is unfortunately needing to move into a nursing home but when I look at reviews around town they are HORRIBLE. I think some of these are just complaining about small things. I think she has a decently high budget and I really want the best for her. They get scared and stuff.

Best Buy playlist??

I was at Best Buy recently and was trying their Shokz wireless openrun headphones. The song they used was good, but I did not get the name/ forgot the lyrics. Does anyone here work at the Best Buy at Rochester and know the song they used to demo the headphones??

Exterior Sliding Door Installer Recommendations

Hello, I need a new sliding exterior door, standard sized (6X6’8).

Has anybody any good experiences with certain local companies? Has anyone used the installers subcontracted by Home Depot in the area?

I would do it myself but I have no desire to take on another household project at this time.

Garage door company suggestions

Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable garage door replacement company? We just moved into a new house, and the garage door isn’t holding up well. Appreciate your help!

EDIT: Thank you for all the suggestions. I was looking around Yelp and came across Wayzata Garage Door, so I decided to go with them.

Interest in Spray Tanning

Hey everyone!! I’ve just recently moved to Rochester with my family and I’m looking for anyone who would be interested in getting a spray tan. I used to work in a high end airbrush tanning salon, and I am just curious to see if that would be something people are interested in. Let me know, thanks!

Santa and cookies

I just learned that it’s the end of an era. Saint Nick isn’t returning to the old ABC toy store. Looking for a good Santa experience in Rochester or outlying communities. Also a good local bakery to pick up Christmas cookies.

Spa recommendations? Like...fancy... ?

A friend of mine has done an amazing friend thing and she needs a time out to feel special.

I'm not from the area at all, but I'd like to set her up with a gift to get pampered for an afternoon somewhere nice.

Any recommendations or ideas?

Thanks!

Nurses Of Rochester, where do you buy your scrubs?

After five years in business casual I finally am returning to a job where I get to wear scrubs. I'm so excited I can't even tell you. I went down to Scrubs and Beyond yesterday and as far as I can tell they only carry three or four brands. That's not a whole lot of selection.

The reviews for Trademark Uniforms are decidedly mixed. Some people love the Customer Service , others have been terribly offended. No one even mentions the selection, LOL!

I would like to try on some Figs and see if they're worth the price, and check the fit of several other different brands. This is going to be the last set of scrubs that I buy before I retire. I don't want to have any regrets!

What do you recommend? Do I have to drive up to the cities?

Discovery walk

Whose idea was this? How was this waste of tax dollars approved? I walk up this stretch every day on my way into work and back to my car and it doesn’t seem to ever get used or serve any purpose. Everyone I work with agrees as most of them also walk this way to work. Who’s having lunch under the roofless gazebo in front of the abandoned drug houses? Why do we need a hundred blue lamps? Besides the craft thing on Wednesday afternoons in the summer what does the city have planned to actually use (and encourage use) of this area, especially in the winter?

Hungarians in Rochester?

The wife (who is Hungarian) and I will be moving to Rochester soon. Are there any Hungarians in the group? So far, everywhere we've lived, she's managed to link up with the local Hungarian group to hang out, cook some traditional Hungarian foods, and speak her native tongue.

So, anyone Hungarian here? 😬😂

To about half of the people in town who drive after dark.

Just because the sun isn't out anymore doesn't mean you need to max out the brightness on your new LED headlights to replace it.

Please visit r/fuckyourheadlights for more information.

Edit: looking into it more, apparently alot of headlights just aren't angled properly and they can come like that from the factory.

EV owners - Volta DC Fast Chargers near Apache Food Court

Edit: There are actually 10 of these around the Mall! All single stall. The ones on the North side:

  • One Near JC Penny (L2)
  • Two near Applebee's Entrance (L2)
  • Two Near Scheel's (L2)

And on the South and West:

  • Two DCFC near the food court
  • One DCFC near Macy's entrance on West side
  • Two DCFC near Spark entrance on South side

I managed to talk to the tech today (11/24) and he was in the process of activating them. Should all be up soon. The L2 ones are active now. Great addition to charging options in Rochester!

Recommended secular groups?

My job is moving me to Rochester in the next few months. I'll be eager to meet people but I'm not affiliated with any churches, nor do I wish to be. Does anyone here have any experiences with secular groups that they'd recommend? I looked online and I'm not seeing any that are active in the immediate area.
