The Greater Rochester area is blessed with miles of Lake Ontario shoreline. The communities that line the lake become especially attractive during the summer. City's photographers set out to capture some of those signature summer scenes in Sodus Point. What are your favorite moments of living along the lakes around Rochester? Share them with us at rochestercitynewspaper.com, and submit your photos of lake life to City's Facebook page or Tweet them to us at @roccitynews.

ANTIQUING: Sailing through garages

Rochester's local picking and antiquing scene

The rainy weather of April and May sends plenty of Rochestarians into their garages, attics, and overflowing closets for a little spring cleaning. That cleaning leads to piles of goodies, tenderly set out on lawns and in public spaces.
