Wondering if it's just me. It seems like there are a lot of out of state license plates around town. Yesterday I saw 4 in 10 minutes. Today, the very first car I saw was out of state. Most of these sightings were north of rt 104, to boot. Maybe it doesn't sound like a lot to others, but driving the same roads for years, it's noticeable.

RIT had Brick City homecoming this weekend, that might have something to do with it.

No, I don't think that's it. That's why I mentioned north of rt 104. It's understandable to see lots of out of town plates in Henrietta with all the businesses and colleges. Usually it's during rush hour with just the driver. Just wondering out loud if we are experiencing a larger than normal influx of new residents.

I have definitely been noticing this too. The company I work for is off 104 and I know we've hired a bunch of new people and a good portion of them are from out of state.

I think we often see PA, Ontario, NJ, MA, and OH plates, but I've also been seeing more FL, GA, and SC plates, which aren't as common here.

I see a lot of out of state plates but I think most of them are out of state students. I do most of my driving between Chili and Henrietta (RIT).

I just saw 3 PA and 2 NJ, again, all north of ridge rd. and in just one quick trip. Not a college for miles and nothing is really there, that can't be found closer to the universities except the lake. But these vehicles were driving east/ west, not north/ south. As I said before, there seems to be many more than usual in this particular area so I'm wondering if they are new residents

Those people are probably fishing the lake tributaries for lake-run steelhead and brown trout. That area is very popular among fishermen.

I'm going to guess they're just visiting friends/family/old neighborhood.
