rochester looks like a nice city. i'm not too fond of a couple of the skyscrapers though.

man, i love that city!

I guess Rochester just gets so little attention that so many of the good things in the city are overlooked. Look at some of the classic architecture which stands still today, just a bunch of gems at street level. It is a good city, but I think the city (like Buffalo) needs a very business smart and agressive conservitive mayor to make the city strong and popular again.

Not to mention, I also thing that we need a governor in the same fashion.

Rochester stills look modern and clean, and much of its architecture is still in tact, which gives it a unique feel, I gotta head to and do more things in Rochester more. :)

I was suprised after a little research today to find that Rochester actually has more Office space for class A and B than Buffalo...perhaps not all things are factored in and I did get this info from www.rochesterdowntown.com and www.buffaloplace.com

Buffalo seems to hold alot more Government type jobs downtown than than in Rochester so that space did not seem to be reflected. Also vacancy rates for class A in Rochester are at 23% in Buffalo there is not enough class A so there has been a major demand for developers to either convert B to A or just build new class A buildings all together.

Freakin' Kodak Tower. Off in the distance. Typical Kodak arrogance. Imagine Rochesters skyline with that 366' behemoth prominantly displayed. Bastards..!

The rest of the photo's though are great. Thanks.

Kodak is a nice one, its on the right side of the river, but would go great at the four corners...oyu know so its part of the skyline a little better. Perhaps Kodak assumed (from the same advice of those who built NY Centeral Terminal in Buffalo) that Downtown would spread to much that the Kodak tower would not be so far out...such a goofy mistake...if any of the forumer's ever quote me for anything here it goes "Build the Tall ones downtown".

My point was that with Kodak in the line-up at the Four Corners, or anywhere in the immediate downtown area, it would have brought an old world design to that bunch of 70's era blobs, and would have given downtown that much more of an architectural edge. Kodak has always tried to maintain a distance from the Rochester community at-large. Why? I have no idea, other than perhaps they have always thought of themselves as much morel important than they were...

Shoulda, woulda, coulda..I know.

Well look at Buffalo's blunder, they built an office building on a train station in the ghetto, and to make it even worse...the building is significantly tall in the skyline. Rochester allowed Kodak to build a few blocks away, Buffalo allowed to build neighborhoods away.

Could be worse
