[quote=Anonymous]Other seasons are nice.. people out and about in spring and summer and fall as much as possible.   I would say the city is like any small city - cheaper to live, easy to navigate, very little traffic, get anywhere in 15-20 min maximum.  Hometown of Wegmans.  The University and medical center are well respected and a big employer in town. Obviously the demise of Kodak and other companies have hurt the area overall. You are not going to get instant gratification walking out the door like in NYC or DC or Chicago, etc, but the Rochester kids seem to find their own local "gems " and head out and about -- coffee shops, bars, clubs, bakeries, restaurants. City is Bills crazy, but you can go to AHL Amerks or Triple A Red Wings games for cheap and competitive teams. She or her friends went to Bristol to ski, Finger Lakes, Letchworth, Lake Ontario and beach, Buffalo, Toronto, NYC, Montreal. There is the Lilac Festival and I think some type of comedy showcase or something.  Living there is going to be what you make it and what you pursue.  If you want endless opportunities and the biggest names for shows, concerts, etc... not the best city for that.  Hopefully this helps.

On another note, airport is easy and not busy, but like any small market airport, flights are more expensive.  The University offers buses to NYC and MA and other places over holidays so students can jump on those.  [/quote]
