A new work of public art will soon become part of the Pittsford community! Commissioned by the Dogra Art Foundation, Terrafly, a monumental bronze sculpture created by internationally acclaimed Indian sculptor Sri K. S. Radhakrishnan, will be installed at Kings Bend Park as a lasting gift to the Town of Pittsford and its community. The work reflects the Foundation's mission of connecting people and cultures through art. There will be a formal dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating this beautiful sculpture to be enjoyed by park visitors for years to come.
A Greener Way to Tackle Weeds — A Friendly Reminder
A Greener Way to Tackle Weeds — A Friendly Reminder
Here is a quick reminder of a simple homemade option for tackling unwanted weeds in sidewalk cracks, driveways, and other hardscape areas.
Simple Weed-Control Recipe:
- 1 gallon household white vinegar (5% acidity)
- 1 cup table salt
- 1 tablespoon liquid dish soap
Mix until the salt dissolves and apply directly to unwanted weeds on a dry, sunny day. A little goes a long way!
This mixture is non-selective and may damage grass, flowers, and other plants it contacts. Because salt can remain in the soil, keep the mixture away from lawns, gardens, tree beds, and areas where you want plants to grow in the future.
Think cracks and hardscapes, not gardens and lawns!

Same! We eat there about once a month - especially in the summer when we can grab the food on a Friday night and take it down to listen to music.

Thanks for the feedback. It’s been hard to get them this far - and there is much more work to do. We will continue working on them.

Pittsford Village Chat maybe real photos?

Great suggestion. I have about 120 so far in our library (that I’ve taken personally walking around the village). Working on getting more this week. The photo licensing world is a real pain - and the libraries don’t have local pictures… Thank again for the feedback.

Pittsford Village Chat I like the graphics.

This is an instance where a photo would work better I think. These are real people making real contributions to our community.

I agree 100%. This is where the absence of a local newspaper that had paid staff to grab these shots is BIG LOSS. Ironically, that loss was driven by the highly documented shift in revenue from local publications to Facebook - the very platform I’m typing this reply into :-) Is there any hope of getting us OFF Facebook and back into a local platform? Long-term, I’d love to build an app and have people contribute real photos for these events in our community. If there is an appetite for that, please let me know. The legality of photos is really tricky for anything that you did not personally take yourself. For a part-time, non-revenue generating community publication - this is a pain point. Thank you for the feedback. We’d welcome more input.

Pittsford Village Chat I’m a professional photographer and would have been more than happy to do some photos for these folks for free in service of local journalism (ie your page). I’m sure there are others who feel this way as well. Need to celebrate the productive diversity we have in our community 💪

Joey Campagna yes, celebrating student achievement was another instant - an AI image did not remotely resemble the actual Pittsford kid.

Yeah. That was kinda on purpose. People are sensitive when you represent a likeness of them. This was more a “generic Pittsford student” idea… A real photo would be MUCH better. 100%… Thanks again for the feedback

If it means you’ll stop using AI images for every story, I’ll volunteer myself to drive down to the village and snap a photo for ya

We would genuinely take you up on that - a real photo from someone who lives here beats a generated image every time. The issue is - we publish about every other day - and people don’t read more than about 100 words without an image to keep their attention. That being said - we would happily replace any image with a real one (legally sourced and fully licensed) - just send them in!
