She planned to check out some new releases, while her kids were excited to check out the Lego selection. “I am a book lover, so the opportunity to get into a new Barnes & Noble seems super exciting — to see the new layout and what it’s going to look like inside,” said Vaisey, who lives in Brighton.

The new location is in the former Party City between Talbots and Famous Footwear. At 18,000 square feet, the store has a similar layout to the Barnes & Noble at Eastview Mall but is larger.

No robotaxis for Rochester—yet

On a gray day in November 2025, when Rochester roads were slick and the lawns still coated with early winter snow, something new rolled down the avenues. The spinning LiDAR receptor on the roof, plus more on the fenders, were bouncing millions of laser beams off surrounding objects. Multiple cameras plus radars fed into an onboard computer digesting and verifying all this location information and commanding the vehicle to drive down the street (although there was a human stand-by driver onboard for this run). The sight was odd enough for WROC to report it on the news. This Waymo self-driving taxi (robotaxi) was headed for Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva for an exhibit arranged by state Sen. Jeremy Cooney (for his alma mater). Waymo is a division of Alphabet, the company formerly called Google.
