Review of Rochester, Minnesota


Nice town if you are married or a man
Star Rating - 10/7/2007
If you are married with children or a single man, you may like living in Rochester. This is a white, conservative town of predominantly married people with children who go to church every Sunday. There is little diversity since everyone works at Mayo or IBM. The ratio of women to men is very high, maybe 6 or 8 to 1, although overweight middle age women abound. The food is some of the worst I've ever eaten, and good dining is nonexistent like good shopping. Avoid this city like the plaque if you are young, single (especially a single heterosexual female), childless, a democrat, or enjoy fine dining and shopping!
