Snowstorm in Syracuse
-
Heck, I worked with someone at Kodak yesterday! I told him that I knew it was Kodak calling in because I know they're a customer and I saw the 585 area code in the phone number. He seemed confused until I told him I grew up in the 315 and the guy was so shocked to be talking to someone in Texas from the 315! LOL

@thanksaj Loved living in Rochester... except for that whole being in a city thing.

And even then hardly any snow till you hit Mt. Morris.
Mt. Morris is a nice town, AJ could move there.
Is there anywhere in that area that has FiOS?

I can't stand living in the country. I like living in cities.

Um no only right downtown in the CITY of Rochester does. Down here the best you can do is 50/5

I could deal with TWC if it wasn't for their upload speeds! I have a need for speed!

@Minion-Queen good to know. That's probably where I'd end up living, assuming I moved to Rochester. How far is that from you?

Rochester DownTown (you don't wanna live there) is about an hour from here but would be more like an hour 15 or 20 to your girlfriends.

Who thinks of Rochester as a city? Even downtown feels less like a city than, say, Binghamton or Utica!

I thought I told you that there is a decent chance I could be moving to Rochester...
Nope and... why?
-
You wont be able to find an IT job here at all. Even a Sales Job in a store would be difficult. There is a reason why people are leaving Rochester/NYS in droves.

Buffalo was the first city to get FiOS. It was the test city. But Rochester is not a Verizon area, so Verizon doesn't have coverage anywhere around there. You are stuck with Frontier. Rochester is the worst Internet access in the nation AFAIK. It is truly horrible. Buffalo, on the other hand, is great.

Rochester especially, though, probably no worse city in the state. Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, Utica, Binghamton... all likely better.

Then Rochester is NOT the "city" for you.
-
If I was going to return to Rochester, I would live in the South Wedge. Only part of town that I like.
-
Even trying to find a job in Buffalo is bad. Jobs here in the Rochester/Buffalo area are just not plentiful.

No but there are more there, better transportation options, it is a far nicer city and it is half the distance to where he wants to "visit" while living there. Makes tons more sense from both a job and life perspective.

I don't think I will be returning to NY.

Rochester is most definitely something I would consider a city. Although it was much easier to drive around then NYC or Albany. I don't think I really see Utica or Binghamton as any more or less city like...

Having lived in Rochester, it lacks any city feeling. It is so small and sprawling. You never get that feeling like you do in a normal city. It's like an endless suburb.
