Message: [QUOTE="Finwad32, post: 2232732, member: 651"] I spent 5 years in Rochester, 2 downtown, 1 in Pittsford and 2 in Penfield. I knew every inch of it. It is a wonderful city, far better in some aspects than Syracuse imo. The suburban areas on the outskirts are great places to live. Just like any city in America, there are bad areas. But, as a whole I found it to be much safer to travel about by foot than many areas on the South and West side of Syracuse. I lived in the heart of a very rough section for 1 year. A naive 21 yr old thinking he got an AWESOME deal on a huge house. We were put in precarious positions more than once. We also may have asked for it walking around drunk at all hours of the night. Looking back, I think it's a much nicer city. Especially as a 30-something raising a family. [/QUOTE]
