A city that deserves a better reputaion that it has with some people. America's first boomtown. For whatever reason, people like to hate on Rochester. Yes, they get a lot of snow durring winter. But the summers, falls, and late springs are beautiful. Has some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Lot's of history in the older nieghborhoods, Corn Hill being the most famous, with the Corn Hill arts festival. It ended today, after bringing almost 300,000 people from
around the world. The Genesee river is very dirty. Overall a good place to live, rated among the top ten most liveavle areas of the
united states, Greater Rochester has one of the LOWEST crimerates in the nation, it is only certain parts of the
inner city, like ANY city, that there is a lot of crime. As someone else said, Greece is one of the top five safest places in the US. Why do so many people dislike Rochester? It really is a nice place if you'd just give it a chance.
I live just outside the Rochester city limits, in Greece, New York... The
historic maplewood
neighborhood in the City of Rochester is very nice
and it is right by my house.
