This is my city, Rochester, NY.It is known as both the "Flour City", for all the flour mills in the early 19th century; and as the "Flower City" for all of the flower nurseries that fourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Rochester is also known as the image center of the world because it is home to Eastman Kodak and Bausch&Lomb, the photo giant and lens maker respectively. I worked for Bausch&Lomb for 22 years.
Rochester is a great place to visit.

Gayla: The building on the right is Xerox Tower,former home of Xerox headquarters. At one time Kodak, Bausch&Lomb and Xerox headquarters were all here. All of these companies were founded in good old Rochester.
