Rochester used to be The Diamond City in New York state; had Xerox, Kodak, Bausch Lomb
I'm NYC born and raised, but family moved to Rochester suburbs in 1964 when I was in HS.
A week or two later the riots broke out and it's been in a death spiral ever since. In fact, Roch has the highest (per capita) murder rate in NY state. The inner city is a cesspool.
Section 8 and other PC "share the wealth" plans are now allowing those with their inner-city values to infest the suburbs.

My condolences.
Worked in Rochester during the late’60s and early 70s as an auditor..... the revolutionaries would take over public meetings, parade with their red flags and chants. They won, let town and left the garbage behind. I and my family were lucky enough to live in Canandaigua, unspoiled then.
