That's almost 135 houses, or 29 percent, more than the town originally envisioned for this 308-acre plot near a busy stretch of Route 332. The development is part of a growth shift in Ontario County from Victor to Farmington. But some Victor and Canandaigua residents warn that making exceptions to accommodate developers is the wrong way to go. They point to congestion and a loss of rural character that attracted many residents to their towns in the first place. "Time and again, the site is being made to fit the development rather than the development fitting the site," said Marge Elder, chairwoman of Victor's Conservation Board. In Victor, an example is the 106 acres of hilly, undeveloped land east of Eastview Mall. Almost all of this plot was supposed to be for housing but the scenic terrain, a kind of buffer between businesses and nearby residential neighborhoods, will be the site of three office buildings.

CD 101.9 drops jazz
D-For and the list could on and on. I buy this music and listen at home or on CD in my car because I couldn't get it on your radio station. If you could take a poll, I think you would find that I am not alone. Until the program directors start being aggressive in finding new music and and be willing to give the listeners a chance to hear the music, I have the feeling that the fate of smooth jazz on radio is doomed. You lost some your audience to satellite radio because of this. People are actually paying to hear new and varied music. You think they would have stayed if they could have got the same music for free? How many people have attend the Liberty Jazz Festival? That should give you a clue that the fans/listeners are there. You just have to give them a better reason than Al Green and Sade to listen.
