“A friend lived in downtown Rochester NY, a typical upstate progressive shit hole. “

My beloved husband was from Rochester, NY.
Decades ago, it was a beautiful city.
And then.....dEmocrats took over.
He will never go back there.
Upstate NY Cities are like some Twilight Zone alternative history, as though a psychedelic leftist neutron bomb went off and created a worm-hole to another dimension.
I was in Utica recently. Its main street buildings look exactly like they did in approx. 1955. Nothing new there. The only difference is the cars aren't from 1955, and there are Muslim women in niqabs walking the streets.
