History and Beautiful City with Culture
-
6/8/2020
I have lived in the Rochester city area for 8 years. Moved from Texas and I love it here. The large amount of snow is really a plus for me and it hasn't lost it's novelty (I appreciate the snow more and more every year!). And the summers are really cool compared to most anywhere else in the country. With an interesting and unique city history, Rochester had a huge, famous nursery in the 1800s (hence the Flower City after initially being the Flour City before the midwest took over the mill industry). Thus, it's possible to grow really beautiful gardens here with the rich soil, temperate climate, and dependable rain from Lake Ontario.
The arts and music scene here (both classical and popular music) is fantastic, and appreciation and knowledge for the arts among Rochesterians is unique compared to the rest of the United States. The houses in the city are historic and very, very affordable. The restaurant scene in terms of variety and options are endless. And with Wegmans in every area of the city....it's easy living in Rochester.
