Join us Saturday, February 13, as we heart bomb a historic Rochester landmark, Hotel Cadillac. Follow our simple directions on how to heart bomb and bring your valentines to 45 Chestnut Street, Rochester, at 3pm. Please wear a mask.
What is heart bombing?
A phenomenon created by Buffalo’s Young Preservationists, heart bombing is a fun and festive way to draw attention to vacant buildings and to the potential that these buildings have to serve as community assets rather than eyesores. The process is simple: you gather all your favorite crafting supplies (construction paper, doilies, glitter, markers, etc.) and your favorite preservationists in a room, make valentines for needy buildings, then go out and tape those valentines to the building(s) in question or just hold them up, take lots of pictures, and post those pictures to social media.
