Pittsford

Thank you for tuning in today.

Today's episode is a local one that, that we were able to host in person at Rock Vox Studios in Pittsford, and it's honestly one of my favorites that we've recorded this season.

Our guest today is Kate Beale from the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce.

Uh, she spent over 20 years in Washington, DC, and just returned home to Rochester, and she's bringing a ton of advocacy and governmental relationship work that she built at the federal level to apply now in the Rochester region, which we're really pumped for.

And because we're proud to call Western New York home, we also spotlight the drivers in our own community, the people and organizations shaping growth and innovation right here.

Let's get into it.

So she's a Pittsford native who left Rochester after high school and spent over 20 years building a career in Washington, DC.

She served on Capitol Hill under US Senators Hillary Clinton and Kirsten Gillibrand.

Maybe that's a story for another day as well.

Janice in Pittsford says, "A friend of mine called the 866 number yesterday that Congressman Morelle is sharing regarding election protection, and they said this number will not be involved in sending lawyers for problems during the election.

Can you please clarify what that number's use is?"

Well, th- that is not...

Uh, Jeremy Cooney is offering, uh, free healthcare for your kids.

And, uh, this will be swell for, you know, everybody in Pittsford and such like that.

Um, put your kids on Medicaid.

Man, that'd be ...

Uh, uh, Penfield, the supervisor race between Andrea Sillens, uh, conservative, and Kevin Barry, uh, Democrat.

Uh, Pittsford, William Smith, uh, and, uh, Max Gordon.

Max Gordon, the Democrat challenger.

And, uh, anyway, uh, Webster supervisor, Shaun Hannah, uh, a name you'll recognize per chance, uh, is challenging the, the new, uh, town supervisor there, uh, Alex, yeah, I'll s- mispronounce his name, forgive me.

Here the driver halted at Beech's Tavern and watered his horses, and some of the party went into the house and took a drink.

The driver also stopped at Menden and Pittsford and gave water to his horses, but no one got out of the carriage at either place, and as stated before, arrived at Rochester about daylight.

This was as far as Hubbard, who had been employed to convey the party, but after a consultation, he was requested to go about three miles further to Hanford's Landing.

He complied, and on reaching that point, about 80 rods beyond Hanford's House, near a piece of woods, he discharged his passengers and returned.

My late wife, Billie, who passed five years ago next month, and I talked it over.

We agreed to sell our home in Pittsford, move to Batavia, and give this online news business a chance.

We were always grateful.

I'm grateful, and now a staff of Joanne Bach, Kara Reichenberg, Brian Quinn, and Brooke Follick is grateful for the opportunity and the support of our readers and our small business owners for embracing Batavian and being good friends and neighbors.

...

in Pittsford, New York, you know? It's just...

God, it's just not the same, bro.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm hearing that.

I'm hearing that, and I'm like, "Aren't you concerned? Car rolls up, 'Hey, what are you girls doing?' And next thing you know, you're on, uh, you know, 48 hours."

[sighs] Pittsford, New York, where I live, does not even have a poli- a police force.

We don't even have cops.
