Does more need to be done to get the crows out of Rochester? Many people would say the answer is yes and one of those is the Executive Director of the Rochester Downtown Alliance, Jon Eckhoff.

Eckhoff says he's been getting an earful from business and property owners in Rochester's historic 3rd Street area.

The sidewalks in that section of the city were recently cleaned, but you can still see the remnants of the crows presence in the trees and on roof tops.

Eckhoff says the city's original plan of pushing the crows south of the downtown area worked, but not nearly well enough.

     "I think we're going to need to take a look at a way to curb the crow population. It's the population of crows, more than just the location. I for one just don't want to push the problem around.

A group of families whose properties were vandalized are saying "thank you" to the community for support.

In November of 2011, five families woke up to find their yards vandalized in Northwest Rochester. Tires were slashed, spray paint and toilet paper were found on their property. They believe the acts were racially-motivated.

"They were wounded emotionally. They felt they were not accepted in this community," said Ponloeu Chim, of the Intercultural Mutual Assistance Association.

Several faith organizations donated gift baskets to the families and raised nearly $700 to pay for their repairs.

Families gathered Thursday afternoon to say "thank you" for the support.
