My college town. When I was a senior I had a single in what was mostly a freshman dorm (1980). We used to all hang those dry erase boards on our doors and one night I came back to my having a swastika on it. Obviously a drunk freshman from my floor. He came clean and we talked about it and he apologized and that was it.
I still donate to the place, am very proud of graduating from there. Even though the long-time President of the Colleges (Hobart & William Smith) was Mark Gearen, the former head of the Peace Corps under Clinton, Mark was always careful to not allow the political correctness get out of hand at the school. The town itself is not really well off and sometimes you just get a knucklehead that needs to clean off graffiti for about 7 days to learn the lesson.
Geneva is finally revitalizing it’s downtown nicely and would be a great place to live given how cheap housing is there. And we grads get to take a course for free.
Having lived in inner-city Rochester I disagree about Geneva revitalizing. I live about 7 minutes away from the city of Geneva and every day there are headlines about people getting shot and restaurants being held up by “yutes” in hoodies which is why I will not patronize any restaurant in the Geneva area. Frankly from what I’ve seen it’s turned into a mini Hood similar to Rochester or Syracuse.
Yes the buildings themselves are receiving government grants to revitalize... in fact my husband’s business did air conditioning for one of them in Franklin Square but until they get a handle on the urban problems it will only deteriorate.
