Tonight’s screening of Beyond the Motor City at the Dryden Theater was, in my opinion, a phenomenal event for Rochester. After the film, seven panelists discussed local transportation issues and took questions on the subject from the nearly full audience. Of course, in the allotted timeframe we were only able to scratch the surface, but this is a conversation that we will carry on in the months, and years ahead. If you’re not already, now would be a good time to make sure you’re following Reconnect Rochester on Facebook

Here’s a little editorial write-up about the event in the D&C.
I concur Mike. I was heartened by the contingency of 20-somethings I don’t usually see at the lecture series. If each sponsoring organization gains 2-3 new active members as a result of last night’s event, I’ll deem it a smashing success.
Here is that link again if you don’t have a D&C account:
