Wow. I didn’t even know there had ever BEEN a subway!

Yes, the current expressway, Route #390? is built in the subway bed. Only a small portion downtown was underground. Clinton and South Avenue stops were in the old aqueduct system over the Genessee River.

That is sort-of the Xerox Tower to Main Library to War Memorial to Court House pathway.

I remember parties at the Frat houses when I was a High School senior. Went to Ohio for college though.

Lots of family connections to George Eastman ( grandfather was his Irish immigrant gardener) and later relatives in the East Avenue and Park Avenue area. My Mother graduated from the UofR, Old campus, in 1930 at 20 years old.
