Rochester has a good music scene (Eastman School of Music, jazz, and blues festivals). It has some good museums. In these respects, it kicks JC's ass.

It has great parks. It has a lot of good restaurants. It has colleges and universities.

It is a little quaint--it is has more of a midwestern culture than an east coast culture--but, if you have a job, it is a great place to live and raise a family.

JC doesn't need a music scene when one of the greatest music scenes in the world is 5 minutes away. As are the museums. The fact that they're not located here doesn't really mean anything. Easy access to NYC is one of the benefits of JC.

Exactly, part of the set of benefits of where a person lives is what they have access to ... and not just WITHIN the limits of the town or city they live in. For somebody who lives in downtown JC, they have very easy access to more art, music, and anything else than probably any other market in the US.

I am actually going to Rochester next week on business. Never been there before, but looking forward to it. Since this thread is going nowhere anyway, I thought I'd ask an off-topic question - any recommendations regarding restaurants there? Steak or seafood.

Seagull's comments are the first positive comments I've ever heard about Rochester.

Count me into the group that's confused by why TJ's doesn't come here. I think they would do so well if placed in a walkable area.

I didn't say it wasn't a nice place, I said it was economically hurting, Kodak is gone, baby, gone. One reason it's nice is the century of generous Kodak largess on the town. They just don't have the hundreds of thousands of commuters, from bond traders to janitors, sucking on the NYC tit and bringing it back home to spend.

I say BS. Freaking CLEVELAND has 2 TJ's! They're building one in Rochester too, neither city has anything on JC & Hudson County in terms of upscale consumers, they're dying rustbelt burgs. They have 5 stores in the twin cities. As I looked at the map of their stores, it really does start to look like racial redlining in addition to economic. They've got stores in working class white areas but not minority.

I hope they also discontinue they *ahem ILLEGAL* refusal to not accept credit/debit under $10. Yes, this is a violation of the agreement that stores make with Visa/MC/AmEx and if they are caught doing it are in trouble. I just hope they stop that nonsense because most people nowadays don't have so much cash on them!

Good luck to the new Key Foods.

Considering he has a Pakistani name, and Pakistan is overwhelmingly Islamic with a 97% majority, I am going to deduce that he is Muslim. However, nobody has concrete evidence that he is, and even if he is, I don't care. He's still got to explain why he had a 13 lbs. package of pot addressed to him and why he has another pound in his apartment. All religion and race-baiting aside, I feel sorry for this guy. What a waste of a life.

and who are you to call someone a waste of life for engaging in a non-violent transaction?

To heights and his fellow klansmen. I am not trying to claim i am better than anyone. I still stand by my earlier statements. You are all assuming too much. If this guy was joe smith or any other generic sounding name(his supposed religion would not have been brought up). Also, in Owlie's post he insinuates not only his he a muslim but probably because his so called(religion) prohibits drugs...he must be a terrorist.

You don't know this person. Last time i checked he is innocent until proven guilty. You guys know we have something called the constitution and the bill of rights. For all you know he was raised as a secular humanist. Or he chooses not to observe any religion. Ya just don't know.

Now, there are always posts of people who have been arrested and charged with some crime or another. If any of you can ....post one of your old posts where you point out someone's religion.....along the same treatment you are meting this guy...then i will happily take it all back.



Until then yes, you guys are morons who eat turds. Thanks.

Not only is your statement assuming a great deal but it's down right racist and shows how ignorant you are.

The statement is worthy of someone like Heights....so congratulations for being a prick!
