An unaffordable yet essential price tag

Life in Brockport can sometimes seem predictable: shopping at the same stores, eating at the same restaurants, and attending the same community events. What isn’t predictable is the rising cost of these routines. Everyday expenses in Brockport are piling up as pressure mounts on budgets across the village.

Bass Pro Shops opens at Eastview Mall. See inside the new store

Call it a Black Friday scene of yore for outdoors folks. Hundreds of people — many of whom stood outside in a chilly November rain waiting for the doors to open — attended the opening Thursday of the long-awaited Bass Pro Shops at Eastview Mall. The cold comes with the territory for Maurice Friedrich of Rochester, who dressed for the elements in a camoflouge coat. "C'mon, man. It's Bass Pro!" Friedrich said. "This place opening up is a gift to a lot of people." Noting the line waiting to get inside, Ontario County Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Marisa Enzinna said having a store of this size and popularity is huge for the local economy, not just for Bass Pro Shops but surrounding businesses as well. "It's not just a store," Enzinna said. "It's an attraction all in itself." Lucas Van Buren, 17, of Pittsford agreed. "It's worth it," he said. The 90,000-square-foot store, which occupies the former Lord & Taylor space and is the fifth store in the state, boasts all sorts of fishing, hunting and boating gear, as well as clothing fit for the whole family — and the outdoors. A 10,000-gallon aquarium and a 1,000-gallon stream

25 Famous Hardware Stores, Lumberyards, and Home Improvement Centers in Upstate New York

There was a time when a home improvement project in Upstate New York began with a trip to a familiar hardware store, lumberyard, or neighborhood home center. Maybe it was a leaky pipe in a Rochester two-family house, a porch that needed new boards in the Southern Tier, or another winter spent trying to keep the snowblower working in Western New York. Before the largest warehouse chains dominated so many commercial strips, local owners, family businesses, cooperatives, and regional chains supplied the parts and advice that kept homes running.
