@MedleyCentre, the parody Twitter account for the shopping mall-turned-post-apocalyptic movie set in the heart of Irondequoit, whose witticisms on daily life in Rochester injected levity into the dreary existence of doomscrollers everywhere, has died. It was 6 years old.
Its death appears to have been discovered Tuesday by CITY Editor David Andreatta, who had attempted to apologize publicly for referring to @MedleyCentre as “perhaps the town’s biggest blight” in a report he had written earlier in the day on Irondequoit Supervisor Dave Seeley announcing that he would not seek re-election.
“It was a terrible shock,” Andreatta said upon making the discovery, as though he weren t quoting himself. “I was trying to tag @MedleyCentre in a tweet and realized he was gone. Life is just so fragile.”
