Finally some positive press. I for one am sick of Rochester getting a bad rap and it is good to be recognized for something other than Wegmans!! When you ask any Rochesterian about what it is like to live here, at some point in their response, usually in the first sentence (after Wegmans has been mentioned, of course), you will hear something like "It is a great place to raise a family." And it is! In addition to the incredible housing prices, the short commute times, great schools, and cultural amenities mentioned in Forbes, Rochester and its surrounding suburbs have gorgeous parks, plentiful playgrounds, top ranked medical facilities and universities, minor league teams with good fan bases, great canal communities, the lake!, gorgeous farms, good snow and mountains to ski on, great restaurants, lots of fun festivals, fabulous museums, loads of history and some good fly fishing (thank you Mitia!) and overall really nice people. We are down-to-earth Midwest with a Northeast flair. It is a really easy place to live and a great place to grow up. I am sure that there are more exciting places to be, and I have lived in some of them, but when it comes down to it, Rochester is not Philly or Boston or New York, and that is exactly why many of my friends with young families have moved back from those cities... So listen up all you naysayers out there, Rochester is a GREAT place to live so try spending less time complaining about the weather and more time enjoying all that the city has to offer!
Things I Like...my hometown & Forbes!
