I was just going over a post I made a while back and came across a comment that I should have taken up a long time ago.
I guess it's a little trivial, but well - it's none other than Lorraine Parr, one of the voices of Free Rochester Radio.

Ms Parr is well known to us for off the wall comments, but this one is really quite amusing. She figures the NYPA is cutting down the trees on the embankments to build houses there.
Have you ever heard anything quite so ridiculous? The embankment slopes are so steep and narrow, and there's that Phreatic line to worry about. Where would you put the basement? Actually IN the canal?
Maybe you could have one of those underwater windows, to watch the carp swimming by?
Nope! I guess we'll just put this down to there being more than one crazy woman in town!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
