It might be hard to believe right now, but summertime will be back in Western New York before you know it. After this winter we've had this year, you would think people would rush outside to make sure they enjoy summer like they never have before. It doesn't matter what we're doing; we just want to be outside doing something that does not include hanging out in the house.

However, just over a year after a huge announcement was made by Hasbro and the Rochester Chamber of Commerce, folks who live around the Flower City finally have a reason to stay inside for a little bit, and you won't want to pass go. Still, you will want to stay home and collect $200.
