Henrietta Town Line Plaza

Henrietta Town Line Plaza, on West Henrietta Road, is your everyday run-of-the-mill one-stop shopping destination for swords, hydroponic growing equipment, comic books, hardcore gaming paraphernalia, and ethnic foods. The selection of stores here is comparable to the eclectic offerings of the much larger Village Gate, though there is little overlap. It is also worth noting that this plaza seems to lack the lofty pretensions of its elder sibling: while The Village Gate is busy finishing its liberal arts degree, Henrietta Town Line Plaza is mainly focused on rolling a twelve and moving out of its parents' basement. That being said, it does a great job meeting strong demand led by nearby RIT, and also helps offset the malignant tedium of sprawl surrounding Jefferson Road.

Redevelopment In December 2013 it was announced that the City had offered Genesee Crossroads Park as the new site of the proposed Roc City Skatepark.

Antiques and Old Lace

12-2010 Antiques and Old Lace was a an antique store on University Avenue, near Culver Road. They closed in 2012 when the new landlord renovated their space and raised the rent. According to a comment on r/Rochester: . . . I am close with a couple dealers who were at Antiques and Old Lace. The building was to be renovated, but they were priced out. The landlord wanted several grand more for the newly renovated space. They hoped to find a new location, but they couldn't find one with the same amount of space and frontage in a decent area for a similar price. As of today (I met with Bruce, dealer from booth #2010) Antiques and Old Lace will not be returning to that location, and may never reopen. Several dealers moved to other area antique malls, but the bulk of them moved to Ontario Mall Antiques on 332 in Farmington.1 12-2010

Medley Center

Formerly known as Irondequoit Mall, this property has been sold to a Syracuse developer, Adam Bersin, and renamed the Medley Center. A $44 million rennovation has been planned. Update, Spring 2006 One of the first rennovations completed after the change of ownership is an indoor soft playground for children. The play area is large and well-designed with comfortable seating at the perimeter for parents and guardians. It opens when the mall does, and closes about an hour before the mall. (10am - 8pm, or 11am - 5pm on Sunday.) There is a fee of $2.00 per child to use the play area, but children get a hand stamp that allows them to return through the entire day (at this point parents will likely tire of the mall's limited offerings before kids tire of the playground). An excellent antidote to severe winter weather. Past Irondequoit Mall has, for the last few years been a big, mostly dead mall in Rochester NY. There is a page on it at DeadMalls.com. I dislike shopping malls, but I think Irondequoit mall had been the perfect mall. Mostly empty, no shoppers, mostly closed storefronts. About 1/2 of the open storefronts had been community groups or hobby groups, and lots of the stores are smaller outlets with nifty stuff. Notes The new owners of Medely Center have announced chess and card-game players are no longer welcome in the Medely Center Foodcourt. Many people see this as sad since for a few years, they were the only people in the foodcourt. D&C qoutes Adam Bersin as saying Foodcount seats full of people who aren't eating don't fit with his vision of a thriving family-oriented retail center. I can only assume this means enjoying boardgames is not a faimly value. -Far These groups are allowed in the Food Court before business hours, when the mall is open to "mall walkers" as well. The reason Mr. Bersin instituted this rule was that he believed that he had to come down hard on loiterers in the mall in order to bring shoppers back. In order to make the rule fair, he stated, it must apply to everyone.
