- Hey, everyone! Welcome back to my channel! Today's video takes us to the vibrant city of Rochester, NY. I can't wait to share this incredible footage with you all. To capture the essence of this place, I relied on the powerful Canon C200, paired with the amazing Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC Lens (let me tell you, it's a bit heavy, but the results are totally worth it!). Believe me when I say that this dynamic duo delivers breathtaking visuals! If you enjoyed the video, don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe for more awesome content. Now, without further ado, let's dive right into the action! Roll the footage!

Nice video, lived in Rochester all my 66 years. Rochester is a sleepy city. This could very well been a Tuesday. Personally I like it that way.
I completely understand your sentiment. I, too, have a preference for less crowded cities. While I enjoy visiting the bustling metropolis of New York City occasionally, I personally lean towards a more natural and rural environment. I find solace and inspiration in nature, and it resonates with my true essence. When I retire, my dream is to relocate to a rural area in the Caribbean, which is where I originally come from.
@@JJ-lr9svThat's on the city of Rochester and the garbage men. Some areas in the city don't get street cleaners sent to it at all. A lot of the garbage man don't have respect or regard for the city residents and just throw the trash everywhere when they're picking up the trash cans. They wouldn't dare do that and Greece or Irondequoit
Empty no people
Dead ...
Hi,
I agree. Next time I plan on recording during a time of the week when there will be plenty of people. It should make things a lot more interesting.
Nice job, Luis! Thank you for producing this fine video!
You are welcome! I am glad to know that you like it!
Thank you for the video. Like Buffalo, Albany, Newark, Hartford, and Detroit, Rochester once teemed with magnificent architecture. Its city centre flourished. Although some architectural gems remain, it is, I suspect, only a shadow of its former self. Living in the Netherlands, I know many exciting, glorious city centres (Breda, Den Bosch, Amsterdam, Middelburg, etc.), and Rochester, like most American cities, cannot compare. What a pity.
You are welcome! Thank you so much for viewing my content. I really appreciate it.
While Rochester might not be the flashiest city, it's definitely improving its architecture, especially for its age and size. There's some new construction, and improvement going on, and even though things might not be moving at breakneck speed, it feels like we're headed in a positive direction as far as the look of the city is concern. Overall this city has a ton of room for improvement, but the same things can be said of many city from of all sizes, and status around the world.
@@LuisCruz-yg6rs Years ago in the neighborhoods there were many big older homes with beautiful architectural features that were subdivided into apartments. If you drive around the city in many of the residential areas you will see empty lots with metal poles sticking up so nobody can park in there. Used to be gorgeous homes on many of those vacant lots, but due to neglect they either burned down or were torn down because they were in such bad shape.
@@MalibuBon Thank you for sharing that info about Rochester.I did not know that.
It is sad that our "governments" sometimes do not put our hard earn money to good use. From time to time, I ask my self this question: Why are you taking so much or our money if most of the time I feel like I do not know where it is going? Perhaps I just need some new glasses. Lol
@@LuisCruz-yg6rs Grand Avenue, Parsells Avenue and more streets between Culver and Webster had gorgeous old houses that are now gone, empty lots. If you go on Google Maps and check out the old pictures, you can see some of them.
Nice background music!
Thank you Ryan!
@@LuisCruz-yg6rsWhat’s the name of the background song? It is beautiful.
@@nancytyler8900The name of the song is: True art real affection part 2
Rochester still looks clean and well kept for the most part but that doesn’t change the gritty socioeconomic reality of the loss of business and jobs and the persistently high crime rate. Eastman Kodak’s fall from Fortune 500 grace really hurt the city and many of its suburbs. Xerox is mostly gone now along with Bausch & Lomb. There is very little left in Rochester
I agree! Now days we have companies like Amazon , but this type of businesses will most likely never match the type of prosperity change that companies like Xerox, and Kodak brought to the Rochester Area.
great video
Ty!
A lot has changed since I moved away on ‘73.
Yes indeed!
Me too. I think we all did around then and through the next ten years. Eleven of my friends and I moved to California in that era. While we shared some of the best time in Roachdale, we never looked back.
Wuow está ciudad seves muy frío
Si suele ser bien fría especialmente en el invierno
Where are the shots of Avenue D ?
Work in progress. Thank you for stopping by, and have a great day!
They all moved to Florida
I think they go to Florida for vacation during the winter, and "forget" to come back.
@LuisCruz-yg6rs yes, lol, I'm in FL and wish I was there
@@pwyman5540 I would not recommend anyone to come to Rochester right now due to the heavy smoke and pollution coming from Canada's recent wildfires. It is during times like this that I find myself wishing I were living in Florida. If you insist on being here, I am open to switching places with you until the fires subside. lol
Yes they did and I'm one of them
Are the inhabitants all dead?!?
On that date, yes. On Sundays it basically looked like a ghost town like in most cities in Upstate NY unless there is a festival going like the Famous Jazz Festival which is happening right now. That festival can be very entertaining. Here is more info about it:

You missed a lot of downtown and why on a Sunday? You only taped near the Convention Center. Shows how one can spin opinion.
Good afternoon,
Thank you for watching this video!
I chose to schedule most of my video shoots on Sundays for two reasons. Firstly, I felt less at ease filming in large crowds of people, and Sundays tend to be quieter and less crowded in Rochester. Secondly, Sundays typically provide me with the most available time for shooting, allowing me to dedicate ample focus and attention to capturing the footage. However, I am enthusiastic about expanding my video content to document various other aspects and locations within Rochester. Please feel free to share a Downtown locations that you will like to see in an upcoming video. I will do my best to work make it a reality in a future video.
You have good day!
You pretty much got it, maybe the east end with Eastman theatre. Rochester is pretty much just Main Street. After that it’s residential and the hood.
@@charlesbaldoThat's how most cities are. IDK why most Rochesterians say that like it's a negative, I'm guessing that they're not getting out of Rochester? But if you pay attention to the news or travel a bit Rochester has a lot in common with a lot of other inner cities. The city of Rochester has all but abandoned taking care of the inner city for at least 15 years!
Kodak’s demise has made Rochester a crime-ridden and poor city. Several other major corporations moved away as well.
Yeah, the downfall of Kodak, and Xerox is definitely impacting the growth of Rochester in more ways that I can count. I do think that higher crime is becoming a world wide epidemic these days that needs a lot of attention from all of us, so that we can hopefully change things for the better.
This could be any day of the week. The Northeast has been dying for decades.
Indeed! I wish we could some bring back Rochester to what it used to be when midtown plaza was a thing. I had some good memories of that place.
Rochester (long time home of the Dull Mens Society) went from the Dullest City in America to the Saddest City in America. From dull to sad... can't they get a Wizard or someone to help them?
