I left inner city Rochester NY in 1994 and none too soon. My daughter was about to enter 7th grade and my son was going into 2nd grade.
That fall, a 7th grade “yute” stabbed another “yute” (these were GIRLS) on a bus that my daughter would have ridden had we stayed there. Moved to a nice quiet village 45 minutes away.
Just look who is the MAYOR these days: http://www.cityofrochester.gov/article.aspx?id=8589934829
Lovely!
Appears to have done good educational things, Maybe not all bad or Mafia as in some past years.
I sent private reply. Maybe you will reply to that and tell me where you are now. ?
