[quote=Anonymous][quote]Anonymous wrote: Pueblo, CO Rochester, NY —It is just so quiet. Grand Rapids, MI Hamilton, NY There are certainly parts of the city of Rochester that are quiet and run down, but I can think of several places in NY state that are FAR more depressing and run down (hello, Utica). Go to highland park when the lilacs are blooming and it is sure to come off your short list. Lots of depressing towns in ohio and WV that it’s hard to pick just one.[/quote] Love the Rochester lilac festival! Yes, parts of Rochester are quiet. It's part of the rust belt in its own way. Kodak and Xerox are both much less than they once were. We lived there for a while and know lots of people who left due to layoffs at Kodak and Xerox. The city has a great history. So many of these depressing towns are places that were hit by offshoring of industries and also technologies that reduced the need for factory labor (robots). So many people were displaced. [/quote]
