Hmm..now that I look and see where Thorpe street is, I'm not surprised. I was helping someone work on their vehicle on Maple street the other day and when I left, I happened to look down Thorpe street. The scene reminded me of my days living in Rochester. The street was lined with young males riding slowly back and forth on crappy bicycles while others were mingling on foot. I think it's called loitering with the intent to make a Christmas spirit sale.

At least Batavia doesn't seem to have a hooker alley yet. I owned a house on Mohawk St in Rochester and worked at Xerox square inside the inner loop. Every day when I drove home, I had to go through the intersection of Portland ave and Clifford ave. If the light was red and I had to stop, I was sure to be visited at the truck window by a very unappealing, toothless, disheveled woman asking me if I "wanted a date." (At least I assumed they were women)
