  • Megwans: You might be asking yourself, why would a grocery store be in the dining category? Well, then obviously you haven't been to the Elysian fields that is a Wegmans Market Café. Or just buy a Rotesserie chicken and take one home, they're super cheap! As they say in the W-Pop commmercials - WOO! List of Local Megwanses

History

  • Abandoned Terrence Building: One of Rawchester's tallest buildings, the former home of the Rochester Psychiatric Hospital. The Terrence Building was first opened in 1959 as a psychiatric hospital building in addition to housing a geriatrics facility.[4] It became the new home of the Rochester State Hospital, which had existed since 1891 after replacing the Monroe County Insane Asylum.[5][6] The tower had a different department on each floor, in addition to a general hospital on the 13th and 14th floor, with the 5th floor housing the criminally insane and the basement holding a lab and morgue. During the building's history, allegations of patient abuse within the tower's premises often surfaced.[7] Furthermore, many of the patients were treated as "lost causes, impossible to reintegrate with society" and were essentially locked away inside the tower.[8]

    The tower was eventually closed down in 1995. See an archived version of their website here.
