Ever heard of the increasingly famous "Ca$h Mob"? It's a group of local peeps who encourage supporting local merchants during this rough economy. Great concept! Thurs. afternoon from 5p-7p the Cash Mob invades the Generosity Store at 39 Goodman St. near Park Ave in the city. Karen Lynch started the Generosity Store about a year ago as a non-profit that supports Golisano Childrens Hospital and the School of the Holy Childhood. Many of the items sold in the store are made locally and can be bought at a great price. Today's Cash Mob is not only supporting a wonderful local biz but also kids who need all the help they can get. You're welcome to check it out and God bless those who join the cause and God bless our troops.
The Mayor Pete Kennedy
Born in Canandaigua NY, Pete Kennedy grew up the youngest of 5 Irish kids of Marian and T. Hamilton Kennedy. His dad "Ham" was elected as Mayor of the city of Canandaigua and served 14 years while his youngest son Pete stole the title "Mayor". Ham earned the title and Pete pilfered it.
Pete helped a bunch of his buds at St. Marys School to found an actual radio station that played music over the PA system during lunch. Many of the nuns were less than impressed by the musical selections this young mob played over WSMR. Later, "Mayor" also served as captain of his beloved Canandaigua Academy football team the Braves.
After successfully graduating from SUNY Geneseo where he spent many hours "studying" humanity while DJing and bartending at the world famous Inn Between, he headed to the bright lights of the big city of Rochester NY where he's been rockin' Rochester radio waves for 25 years, now crankin' great tunes on 100.5 the Drive.
When not heckling callers and having fun with them on air, he's actively out working' the streets at various community and charitable events. Last year alone he was involved in over 120 events and has plans for many more in 2012.
