Rochester pros: many beautiful neighborhoods, lots of recreational lake frontage, more corporate presence, more people of means. cost of living only slightly higher than Buffalo.

 

Rochester cons: "smugtown" reputation, lacking in nightlife, poor sports town, terrible political represntation, can't get folks off their coaches with a stick of dynamite.

 

Buffalo pros: People know how to party, rollicking nightlife, great sports town, anything but smug, easy-going lifestyle. Lower cost of living than Rochester. Politicians get millions in state aid for arenas etc.

 

Buffalo cons: Local government committed to patronage...choking what little economic opportunity exists, While some nice neighborhods, most of the city is a slum, almost no recreational waterfront, the economy.

Another Rochester pro: easy drive to Buffalo to enjoy most of it's pros.

Having lived in Rochester for a year and a half, I would say Buffalo for three reason: The Bills and everything that comes with the home games, bars are open until 4am, and the casinos along with Canada.

 

Rochester is depressing--Kodak is a microcosm of what Rochester really is and I am so glad that I got away from the area all together.

Aquatic Resorts & Entertainment, wants to build its resort on 86 acres of land on Route 332 in Farmington, just south of the New York State Thruway.

 

The resort would include a 70,000 square foot indoor waterpark, 175 room theme hotel, 100 room franchise hotel, conference rooms, restaurants, and a fitness center.

 

A few years down the road, developers also envision residents at the site. Phase two includes residential units, street-scape stores and restaurants, similar to a small community.

 

Pick Rochester, Cause they would not be putting up a resort like this in a dead city like Buffalo

Sorry, I am from Rochester and I do pick Rochester as my answer to this post, but there is no way Farmington, Victor and Canandaigua can support something that big. The problem with Exit 44 is that there is little else around it. OK, Eastview Mall is one exit away, but I am pretty sure that is sucking in every penny there is to be spent in the area.

 

The developer looking to do this must have never heard of Roseland Park.
