I really enjoyed living in Auburn for the time I was there. I was born and raised in Rochester, NY, then moved to the Utica/Rome area, but moved to Auburn with my two sons when I started working at the prison as a Correctional Officer in September 1980. I transferred from Auburn in December of 1983 to a prison in the Utica/Rome area. Loved eating at The Sunset restaurant. When I head back to the Rochester area to visit family, I try to stop at The Sunset for take-out on the way home.
Oh my Lord,that guy was lucky to walk out in one piece. About the prison,When I was a kid we used to always look at copper John on top of the prison,and be excited. I have a younger brother and sister that live a few blocks from the prison. It was a great area to grow up in,but it has lost a lot of businesses not unlike most of central ny. The democrat leadership in NY state does not care a whit about central or western ny. I will pass that video on,and it will be all over Facebook by tonight.
