Good history narration

FACE IT PEOPLE, everyone is leaving, the few that stay will have to pay higher taxes for all that have left........sucker's.

This accent is crazy

Jimmy Flinn describes it best-Great little city, if they ever get it finished 😂

I don't see any tent encampments?

Oh Canada on stolen native land & it's resources. Treaties that were signed with the Royals ...To this day none of have never been honored Royalties put into trust for a specific number of years which are over due, So why doesn't the Monarch pay up. Enjoy these vids. Makes you wonder when explaining the history always leaves out how they stole land and not pay up. Canada's Best Kept Secrets. I guess you never did an advance research. Perhaps that's why.

Really, you had to get a french comment there. Montreal or Quebec may be older, but Saint John is the oldest Incorporated City. You are ignorant. Why the fuck make a comment like you did. This is why french are not liked. You have an attitude.Just because we claim to be the oldest Incorporated city, does not take away from Montreal or Quebec City, nor the french.

I don't know where they got this narrator, but they ought to take her back where they found her.

Enjoyed this. Thx. Love your accent and humor. Cheers!

Rochester was full of Great Corporations such as Rochester Products also part of General Motors, AC Delco, which later became ITT, and was sold to a French company named Valeo, There was Xerox, Bauch & Lomb, Kodak, Cooper Vision, The University of Rochester Medical school, Wegmans supermarket Chain, BJs wholesale club. there were plenty of jobs, a great economy it the 60's, 70's and 80's and 90's. I was fortunate to start my life there with my brothers and cousins escaping Communist Cuba and leaving my families Businesses taken over by Communism. Such a great Nation America is. We came over legally and started our new life in Rochester. Many fond memories of the wonderful people in Rochester that we will be forever grateful. God Bless America and God Bless Rochester....

The city of Rochester is like so many other cities in NYS that are run by corrupt Democrats and are basically WELFARE SYSTEM CITIES .CRIME, CORRUPTION, DRUGS,HOMELESS. MORE TAXPAYERS HAVE AND STILL ARE MAKING AN EXODUS FROM ALL DEMOCRATIC PARTY RUN STATES .POLITICAL CORRUPT OVER TAXED NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE LARGEST deficits due to miss management and corruption. The facts speeks the truth slow death environment then rapidly.The city of Rochester now is a schit hole.

can they find someone to speak properly?

She got some facts glaringly wrong. ie. Siblies did not disappear until sometime in the seventies!

they need to create a space downtown like Kansas City did ( Kansas City Power & Light ) a mix use center of bars , restaurants , and open space for live music .. This gives people a reason to come into town from the suburbs . Cash in on the downtown river that way . Clean up all the debris that collects and do a music and light show on the falls ( See Providence RI 's "River Fire" walk

Downtown Rochester was once a bustling vibrante magnet. Rampant crime and the massive malls out in the suburbs killed it. Downtown has a few places for folks to live, but they're pricey. It's now beginning to build more affordable housing. But it's anybody's guess as to how long those new projects will last as peaceful. Rochesterians have a 50/50 attitude. Half good, half.. REALLY bad. The city is no longer the picture postcard perfect place it was in the 60s and 70s. We came from Brooklyn New York in 1969. Lived off of Mt. Hope Avenue when Mt. Hope was a railhead packed with warehouse from Alexander St., all the way to Highland Park. My dad would leave the front door wide open with just the screen door locked to let air circulate. Our bedroom windows were also wide open at night in the summer. No worries. Rochester is NO LONGER that type of haven😢

Highest poverty

Sorry but your history is way off seeing as historians have already proven that people lived here as far back as 3200bc.

what accent is that? seemed English at first, very difficult to understand sounds like a mix of muffled English ,,Scottish Russian, Polish with a hint of pig latin possibly ? otherwise great video !

That’s an odd looking child, the mother is definitely strange. The father seems to be the only normal one.

What a strange accent. It’s like the queen had a baby with Borat

Left 30 years ago. You can only keep painting things so many times. Who can afford the taxes?

The accent is just too hard to listen to. Couldn’t make it through the video. Are you a French, South African, Australian, Englishman?

TY for enjoying and sharing this peaceful place. Much love from Saint John

You didn’t see Rochester if you didn’t go to the Park Avenue neighborhood.

Well, it is not a secret anymore is it..

Rochester is very dangerous city and so are the inner suburbs that border it; Greece, Gates, Chili

the BEST video I've seen of an icelandair flight!! I'm so nervous for my LGW - KEF - BWI trip with the short connection time but it you guys made it so hopefully I will <3

Why doesn't anyone ever ask how the f did they build those buildings with horse and buggy anyone anyone want to explain or how about all the buildings because all the buildings were buried and dug up I've lived there most of my life didn't realize until I got to Alberta it seems like it could be part of the tartarian theory there's no way our technology was able to build those buildings back then no chance now let's hear all the craziness I'm going to hear

Thanks for sharing this video! Rochester has many beautiful buildings and huge cultural events. We are renowned for various festivals all summer long. The Lilac Festival in the Spring, Corn Hill and Clothesline Arts Festivals, Jazz Festival, and many. The University of Rochester's main Rush Rhees campus is in the south portion of the city, along the Genesee River. There was once a women's campus at University Avenue & Goodman St. area; it is now the Memorial Art Gallery and Rochester's neighborhood of the arts. Within downtown is the glorious Eastman Theatre, the jewel of the Eastman School of Music, part of the University of Rochester. Many institutes of higher learning have moved or were founded in the suburban areas: we have the Rochester Institute of Technology with the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Nazareth University, St John Fisher University, Empire State College, Roberts Wesleyan University, Bryant and Stratton College, State University of New York College at Brockport and Monroe Community College, as well as Elim Bible Institute. Because of having three schools with large music programs (Eastman, Nazareth, Roberts) and dance (RIT and others), the city is home to many cultural events. There is rarely a night when you cannot see or hear a free concert or performance at one of the schools. Rochester was settled in 1812 and incorporated as the Village of Rochesterville in 1817. The completion of the Erie Canal in the 1820s had led to a boomtown atmosphere in the village, which would become incorporated as a full-fledged city of Rochester in 1834. I'm glad you spent some time at the Central Library of Rochester & Monroe County, which has an amazing local history collection. The water-feature on the North Terrace is shown in 0:13-0:17. Regarding the canal's further uses, it was a subway from 1927-1952. It closed as the route was needed for the increase in automobiles and the parts out of the downtown (center city) area became divided highways, or as we call them, expressways. In fact, the Rundel Memorial Building of the Central Library was actually constructed on top of the extant subway from 1934-1936. After the subway closed, it was never used as a pedestrian walkway. People were able to get in and out, but this was not an officially sanctioned walk. By the way, on of your favorites, LaSalle, did make a stop in this area. Just east of Rochester are the towns of Irondequoit and Webster. Separating them is a very large body of water, the Irondequoit Bay. At the bottom of this bay, LaSalle made landing in 1669. There is a LaSalle's Landing Park at the site now. The bay and Irondequoit Creek area was also visited by the Marquis de Denonville during his 1687 expedition. Because of its major optics industries like Bausch & Lomb, Xerox, and Kodak, Rochester has been known as the Imaging Capital of the World. Rochester is also known as the Lilac Capital of the world, with over 550 species in the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Highland Park, with many new strains developed here. Other famous places here include one of the country's oldest municipal cemeteries, Mt. Hope, where orator Frederick Douglass and women's rights champion Susan B. Anthony are buried, both having lived in Rochester. George Eastman's home is the world's oldest photography museum. The Rochester Public Market is one of the oldest, operating since 1827. The Strong National Museum of Play is a world-class museum with interactive exhibits and is also home to the National Toy Hall of Fame, the International Center for the History of Electronic Games, the World Video Game Hall of Fame, and the Brian Sutton-Smith Library and Archives of Play, and produces the American Journal of Play. Please come back for another visit, and treat yourself to a garbage plate as well!

The original Reynolds Arcade was torn down in 1932, the current building was built after that. The Paddock Arcade in Watertown, NY has been in continuous operation since 1850.

Just come right out and say it, Rochester is a dangerous place to live or be at!! Everyone has a pit dog or 2 in the yard with cameras watching every square inch of everywhere! Ever since Kodak went down the tubes, its been shot!! The jobs that once paid BIG $$$, are history and so what u see is whats left! The race and ethnic make up has changed alot too!! Its shot, there is no other kind way of putting it!!

I was born I was raised I still love my hometown Saint John and if anybody has anything bad to say about it has either got to be from there or get to know it more NS for poverty or junkies blame the older generation for teaching the younger generation don't blame the city on its history for it blame the generation for it

Canada did start in Saint John not in Quebec or Montreal I'm not sure what historian thought about that but it all started in New Brunswick in Saint John

Dirtiest city in NB 😂😂😂

4:50pm and pitch dark outside. yikes!

love your videos!

Once Kodak moved out, that was the end of Rochester!! We knew it was going down years before, the whole country has been going down since the end of WWII. Companies like bausch & lomb, Ganett tv and newspaper, xerox, taylor instruments, poloroid, and more! Kodak means "hand-held"!! It was a wonderful place to live,work and play all in the same day!! Dont feel bad, buffalo, syracuse, Albany, utica, rome, binghamton, olean, is all shot to ****!! Taxes are sky high- income and property both! It snows and food and utilities are way too expense!! Pollution is another problem! 😢

Except it wasn't! Great closing line!

I used to work in the wilder building 2019-2022

Loving these ! 🍁

How was getting through to get the second flight . Im going Manchester to Iceland to New York and I’m wondering if I have to go through customs and everting after my first flight

Trumplandia in upstate New York! Annoying AI narration?

12:08 111 East Avenue! I lived there from 1990-1994 for $285/month.

beautiful

ROCHESTER CLOSED MIDTOWN AND THEN PUT BUSES IN THE TRANSIT CENTER AMD CLOSED ALL STORE'S DOWNTOWN AND NOW YOU BARELY SEE ANYONE AND PEOPLE ARE MOVING TO OTHER CITIES BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING HERE . THIS IS A SHAME.

Saint John is the oldest incorporated city specifically.

Where are you from? I like your accent!

At Kodak, you could borrow photo equipment at no cost! And if u were full time, you could go to Kodak School for 8 hours every week to learn how to use Kodak products!! I knew a man who's job it was to get customers to use 1 more sheet per year of Kodak paper!! That is what his job was for years! George Eastman was never married, he awoke everday to the sound of organ music that his male organist played to tell him it was time to get up!! What a life!! George Eastman committed suicide! He had a gay old time of it!! And so did his organist!

In the 1980's, Kodak employed 90% of working people in Monroe County,and 60% of the working people in the 3 ajoining counties !! Kodak never had a union, Why?? George Eastman tried his employees with class!! If you worked at Kodak, you were set for life!!
