"Driving there along beautiful Highland Ave., you'd never know you're on your way to the highest elevation in Rochester. The gentle sloping of the road and trees make it easy to forget how high you really are. That is only the beginning to the one-of-a- kind atmosphere you find at Cobb's Hill.'

"What a great day. This was probably the best day of my life. I mean this makes graduation look like a trip to the grocery store and Disney World a neighborhood carnival. Santa Claus was particularly good to me that year and allowed me to charge five tickets for the Sixers/Jazz game on her Visa. However, this was not your ordinary NBA regular season game.

I could feel and taste the colors I saw. Purple was fuzzy, red was spicy, and yellow was warm. It seemed like I would never be unhappy again. Time was moving slowly so I could watch everything that was going on."

"Somehow, when you observe people all your life, it becomes a sort of art. Each individual is distinctly different, a mystery within itself. What intrigues me though is looking for their story: where are they going, who are they looking for, what troubles them--the list is endless.
