Bye Rochester NY

It was time to leave. My time in Rochester was nice but I was ready to get back to the south to be with my family. I will miss Rochester. Rochester was a good city to live in but at the end of the day it isn't about where you are but who you are with. I made a lot of good friends in Rochester I hope to stay in touch with throughout the years.

Rochester is much is a better city then the one I a live in now. I will miss the sports scene. The city is known for its minor league sports. It is great because you get to see good sports for a great price. The city is big enough to have everything you need but small enough not to worry about traffic. I will miss some of my favorite resturants: Dinosaurs BBQ, John's Tex Mex, Cheese Eddies, 3 Latinos. I will also miss Charlotte beach and occasionally the snow. I will miss having the seasons and the beautiful fall season in upstate NY.  Life will not be the same without Wegman's or the public market but I will just have to learn to live without them.

My last few weeks in Rochester I tried to hit up all my favorites. Ending with a gathering with most of my close  friends at Dinosaurs BBQ. My employees gave me a nice lunch one day and my college friends had a going away breakfast for me. The basketball in the morning and the kickball league was hard to let go of.

Rochester was also in a decent location if you didn't driving some. You could drive to several cities within a few hours (Pittsburgh, Buffo, Niagara , Cleveland, Toronto,  Syracuse,  NYC) and get to see major leagues sports, famous cities.

The single biggest thing I left behind is a person. Some one I haven't been without for nearly 8 years. Although our relationship as a couple came to an end over 2 years ago we still have remained close. We have been through a lot together we have always been able to count on each other. I am not sure what this will do to our relationship and that is scary. I am sure we will remaining close but it will be odd not being able to make a short trip and her being right there.

Rochester although you are not perfect you are a good city that I gave 4 good years to. I hope that we cross paths again in the future. Thank you for treating me well (although the state of New York didn't).
