Rochester, MN is the biggest town in Minnesota save the twin cities. Heres a not-so-brief description of it...
Rochester is a city of a population of over 100,000, with a few thousand visitors at any given time. Why so many visitors? Many are patients at Rochester's Mayo Clinic, arguably the best hospital in the US, and on the top five list in the world. Mayo employs around 35,000 people at any given time. A second major employer is IBM.
A few good places to eat are Newt's Burgers, which have won many burger awards over the past few years. There is also a nice Red Lobster. You can also visit one of the ridiculous amounts of Micky Ds.
Schools--- The four high schools in Rochester are John Marshall (GO ROCKETS), Mayo, Century, and Lourdes(Private). You can take a few UofM classes in Rochester, and the local community college is RCTC
The Mayo clinic was founded when a Tornado rolled through town (at this time a small village) and killed all the smart people that would've moved away.
This brings me to the climate. Rochester is located in the godforsaken part of the country where you can get snow, rain, hail, tornadoes, and 90 degree weather in the same week.
Rochester is surrounded with many small communities whose sole purpose at city council meetings is to complain about a few trees in the park obstructing the view of a river.

Get the Rochester Minnesota mug.For all you people who rated it good, you must be from Pittsford or the East End. 80% of the city is ruled by guns, gangs, and drugs. The only place in the city where there is money is in east end. People will walk infront of cars even if you beep at them. There are lots of abandoned houses.
There is a nice public market and lots of golf courses. The suburbs are nice, especially Pittsford. The economy is screwed, my family used to make 100k but now settles for 50k as dupont laid off most of its workforce. Kodak is going downhill. The saving point is RIT and U or R.

Get the Rochester mug.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.

Get the Rochester mug.A extremely dead city in western New York State which has fallen stoneages behind neighboring cities such as Syracuse and Buffalo. ROC is merely a skeleton of its former self. As a Rochester native, I should know.
With all of the crime and lack of anything to do meaningful there, Rochester wonders why nobody wants to live there.
