I was born in Rochester, and lived there until 1972. I live in Rome, NY now. Never get back to the City anymore as I’m the only one left from my family. My brother’s widow lives in Ontario, NY, and I occasionally visit her there. Spoke to her last night about the coming storm.

Never get back to the City anymore
There's no city to get back to - it's all slums. In fact, Rochester has the highest per capita murder rate in the state.
   I've lived in Greece since moving here in '64 (from NYC) and never did like the city, even when it was still "charming."
The '64 riots started the decay and the massive flight to suburbia. The eventual demise of Xerox and Kodak drove the stake in for good.
