Hah, Rochester. Everyone leaves Rochester, it's pretty terrible.

Yeah. It was a nice place to grow up and it's nice for families. Safe, decent schools, etc. Just a pretty boring place to be a teenager/young adult. A lot of the city feels like a suburb too, which can be annoying.

It sounds like Mayo is really making a concerted effort to bring in young people and make it more of an urban center with better public transit. Hopefully that works out well.

Are you from the area?

Yeah, I grew up there, and unlike most other people, didn't head up to the Twin Cities, but I'm still in and out of Rochester and the cities every so often.
