Unlike the lib OP, I’m not trying to quit my phone. As if.

    Kodak basically took the city of Rochester down with the ship. The folks up there are wonderful but the town is a shell of what it was. It was once basically a mini silicon valley, Bausch and Lomb of the eyeglass and lense fame, Kodak with cameras, Xerox with copiers, and basically all the industry needed to support those global giants. Anything optical owes a great debt to Lil ole Rochester.

    You'll still find weird old office machines with "Rochester, NY" in the casting if you know where to look.

        There's shitty people everywhere but I ran into way more nice people in Rochester.
