The Hood??? The Lyell Ave. Wegmans store isn’t even in the city.I lived within walking distance of it as a preschooler. Note the annual German festival nearby behind St. Theodore’s.
Don’t know if you noticed but it’s in the “Gates” area which used to be where Italians and Germans “fled” to during urban “renewal” in the sixties.
Gates and it’s neighbor, Chili, is now becoming predominantly “hood” as the Section 8 and subsidized housing is infiltrating “outer ring” city areas and the suburban areas next to them. (see Irondequoit) The elderly that can’t afford to move or won’t move get preyed upon. Most young affluent couples are moving to Bergen, Rush, Perinton, Fairport and other farther away suburbs/rural areas; the very western and eastern areas of Monroe county or Ontario county
I know because I used to work as a clerk for the Section 8 program in the nineties and they were INTENT on moving the dregs into these areas on the taxpayer dollar.
