Rochester (/ˈrɒtʃᵻstər/ or /ˈrɒˌtʃɛstər/) is a city on the southern shore of Lake Ontario in the western portion of the U.S. state of New York, and the seat of its Monroe County.
The population of the city itself (210,565) was the third largest in the state — after New York City and Buffalo — at the time of the 2010 census. Rochester is at the center of a larger metropolitan area that encompasses and extends beyond Monroe County, and comprises Genesee County, Livingston County, Ontario County, Orleans County and Wayne County. This area, which is part of the Western New York region, had a population of 1,079,671 at the time of the 2010 Census. A Census estimate of July 1, 2012, raised that number to 1,082,284.
Rochester was one of America's first "boomtowns." It rose to prominence initially as the site of many flour mills along the Genesee River, and then as a major hub of manufacturing. Rochester has become an international center of higher education, as well as medical and technological development. The region is known for many acclaimed universities, and several of them (notably the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology) are nationally renowned for their research programs. In addition, Rochester has been and continues to be the site of many important inventions and innovations in consumer products. The Rochester area has been the birthplace to such corporations as Kodak, Bausch & Lomb, and Xerox that conduct extensive research and manufacturing in the fields of industrial and consumer products. Until 2010, the Rochester metropolitan area was the second largest regional economy in New York State according to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, after the New York City metropolitan area. Rochester's GMP has since ranked just below that of Buffalo, New York, while still exceeding it in per-capita income.

Plot: Freddy Martin and his band go on a trailer vacation, taking along Rochester as a handy man. They run out of gas in a ghost town and have to spend the night in the deserted Palace Hotel. The next morning, Ann Crawford and her three friends, Josie, Billie and May, arrive as Ann has inherited the hotel and most of the surrounding property, and she and her friends have pooled their savings to pay off the debts and formed a company to run the hotel. Jimmie Ross, singer with the band, decides to help the girls and has the hotel done over at his expense. Rochester, digging in the Victory Garden he has started, finds a gold nugget and the rush is on. Gangster Pete Hartley and his henchmen move in with intentions of taking over. He succeeds, over Ann's protests, in buying the property from her friends. Jimmie returns and thinks Ann has double-crossed him and they quarrel and part. Jimmie discovers that Rochester's gold nugget was his own gold inlay. Later, back on the radio with Freddie's band, Jimmie sings a song especially to Ann, who he hopes is listening.

Plot: Radio star Jack Benny, intending to stay in New York for the summer, is forced by the needling of rival Fred Allen to prove his boasts about roughing it on his (fictitious) Nevada ranch. Meanwhile, singer Joan Cameron, whom Jack's fallen for and offended, is maneuvered by her sisters to the same Nevada town. Jack's losing battle to prove his manhood to Joan means broad slapstick burlesque of Western cliches.

Meanwhile, Whipsnade's son and daughter, Phineas and Vicky, attend a posh college. Vicky turns down her caddish but rich suitor Roger Bel-Goodie, but changes her mind when she learns of her father's financial troubles. Will Vicky marry for money or succumb to the ventriloqual charm of Edgar Bergen? Will Whipsnade's Circus Giganticus make it over the state line one jump ahead of the sheriff?

A short documentary exploring the history of Rochester, New York's Crime Family. Originally aired in 2002. Small City Mafia: The Rochester, NY Crime Family has its roots in prohibition era rackets. Until the mid 20th Century, however, Rochester's mob was nothing more than an offshoot of the Buffalo Crime Family headed by Stefano Magaddino. During the 1960s, a power struggle caused a rift in Upstate New York's organized crime factions and Rochester realigned itself with LaRocca in Pittsburgh. By the 1970s, it was its own family. Sorry about the quality and the audio. It is an old clip that was never intended for HD broadcast. This mini-documentary outlines the peak and fall of Rochester's mafia beginning in the mid-1970s with a law enforcement scandal of planting evidence under the cor...

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Alan-Heaths-History-Page/173472422695696 Rochester in Kent is an ideal place for a day trip from London. In my case I went there by camper van and left it parked in a pay and display car park with no height restrictions from whence we were able to see something of this historic town with its castle, cathedrals and streets which are highly reminiscent of the works of Charles Dickens. I managed to get some wonderful views of the Medway into this film, filmed from the top of the battlements of Rochester castle. I think that they are some of the best shots I have ever got!

i was born in rochester to a book making man
had a fake cigar shop with the games on in the back
see them coming and going letting it ride on thorough breads
the police chief and tom hall wondering what was the spread
i carried rich mans bags through brier trying to chase down a little white ball
learned that any soft place wasn't good for me at all
daddy'd come home fired up looking for some sort of release
he'd beat the hell of timmy and timmy'd beat the hell out of me
i would hop the fence out to those government fields
run till there was nothing left to feel
lying there watching just disappear
knowing one day i'm gonna fly on out of here
the same police chief came knocking my first freshman day
put my daddy in handcuffs and his picture on the front page
took everyone of his suits and all my dignity
i'd walk the halls of irodiquie looking for any punk to set me free
i would hop the fence out to those government fields
run till there was nothing left to feel
lying there watching just disappear
knowing one day i'm gonna fly on out of here
got that call to vietnam just like everyone else i knew
so scared of the hand grenades through them farther then any other troop
came home like an iron fist and timmy tried to take my keys
ripped open his from pocket that was the last time he touched me
moved to an island out west and up to Breckenridge
met a mermaid on a glass boat and she promised me some kids
bought a house in oregon where you could touch both of the walls
had a son named benjamin and i was so scared of it all
well benjamin walked in the front room where i was cutting up my hash
looked into his deep blue eyes wondering why i'd been so mad
flushed a quarter pound down the drain praying for the mercy to confess
trying to rip the boy from Rochester right out of my chest
were gonna walk right out into those heavenly fields
run like there was no more time to steal
my three boys and the grace of god revealed
knowing one day you're gonna take me out of here
