South Wedge History

[@SURENITY]

I absolutely love this great city!!! I was born and raised in Dallas, and had the opportunity to attend Brighton H.S, AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE!!! I remember biking 4 miles to downtown almost every day afternoon school, going to epic places and meeting epic people!! This place has a serious spirit!! This amazing city is sadly currently on the decline, especially downtown due to failing industries such as Kodak/ Xerox.

I left Rochester at age 42,and am now 94. I see videos of young blacks fighting all over the city,totally out of control,and no consequences for such behaviour. I blame a lot of the decline on the black influx. I took a nostalgic car tour of homes I had lived in,and was amazed at how they changed. The finest house I ever lived in was 97 Sawyer St. On my visit ,it was all boarded up! So much for integration. Glad you can still enthuse about Rochester. So glad I left 52 years ago for the Dayton Ohio area. Prices were 40% lower than NYS. Everything from food,gas,water bill was $12/YEAR!. There is a video showing views of Main and Clinton thru the ages.Look for it ,it is self explanatory, and shows the reason for the decline. Look up 'Dewey Ave Street Fights' video on KZbin.

I was born in 1956. We lived on the corner of S. Goodman and Linden sts. I was baptized in the original St Boniface church and went from k to 8th grade at the school. That neighborhood has remained fairly stable over the yrs. Many of my school mates still live in the neighborhood!

Lived in Rochester for 42 years and this is first time I have heard of South Wedge. Very interesting. My father in law owned Massies tavern at Meigs and S.Clinton.

You must not have been to Rochester in decades. The South Wedge is a very trendy neighborhood. One of the most popular for young professionals and the “hipster” crowd.

Thurston rd had a nursery and one of the buildings still stands and is part of the Megiddo Mission
