Are these Canadians in for a surprise when they hit Rochester. I was born there at St. Mary's Hospital about 60 years ago. It WAS a great place to grow up. Now, I roll my windows up to deflect any bullets and pray I get out of the city safely. Rochester is a cruddy, dangerous city. (51 murders last year).

People will go to Niagara Falls or the Vineyard areas by the Canadian Bridge routes at Buffalo or Syracuse. No need for the Rochester Ferry.

Why not improve the beaches (including Durand) for ROCHESTERIANS instead of dumping ferry money down the drain. Check the old photos of Durand at Rochester History Photos. You'll be stunned at what it was and what it is.

I went to the U of R and still have some friends there though I haven't been there for about 25 years. I thought that back in the late 70's they had a largre urban renewal project going on? The kind of thing where you bought an old building for a song but promised to spend money to fix up.

"When they (Canadians) hit Rochester"... pardon me but IMO it's "if" and not "when" as I do not predict any Canadians coming over on the ferry, at least not to see Rochester.

Are you in the region, and would you like to be added to the ping list?

best regards from the city of Rochester.
