Homey, I know it proves your point, it also proves that overall interest has waned.

2 of the 3 articles were not opinion articles. I linked the 1 article that was opinion because it has a picture of the stadium, virtually empty, for the The US Women’s National Team. The author states almost 15,000 people attended the teams' first outing at Frontier Field. Do we even need to guess the attendance in the photo?

So a new stadium itself doesn't generate interest? Hmmm...

If you disfavor soft stories, reports from the street, and tangentals, why are you here interacting with people? Just read data and ignore the sentience.

I have lived in south wedge in the past 3 years.Crime has gone up so much in my area for awhile it is not safe to go out at night. I get bothered every day for money. Yes their is development in the area but it off sets it self. South wedge was nice 3 years ago but now its not as good. I literal saw a helicopter the other day in my neigborhood looking for criminals. I also have police officers sitting in there vechicle in my apt parking lot. I live in the heart of south wedge. My apartment building is half empty. Also I have been look at the census of rochester and found that there is a generation gap. You will see that the college educated are leaving, also the 23-29 age group is very small. Why do you think that is? Also if any one reads RBJ they said rochester and nyc took the hardest hit in the economy and population loss since 2001

"Midtown Plaza appears headed back on the market, now that developers of a Made-In Italy proposal for the mall failed to make an eleventh-hour effort to bring their plan to market."

"Rochester Mayor Bob Duffy is demanding a meeting with potential fast ferry buyer Euroferries Limited but the city may be a month too late. SpeedFerries is a European fast ferry operator that would be in direct competition with Euroferries. SpeedFerries says it signed a four-year lease for space at Dover's Western Docks. The same space Euroferries was planning to use to run service between England and France using Rochester's ferry."

The City of Rochester should hold a pay-per-view televising of the Fast Fairy barreling over Niagara Falls. I would pay $100 to watch. At this point, it may be the only way to get the City's money back.

Or, store the Fairy in Midtown and, um, have a "suspicious fire."

Muggy's don't forget that the city is try to add Gentrification to its list. Corn hills landing, High falls area and the new apts there and east ave lofts. Also the whole blue cross arena problem they are facing. But your right with the orginal post that rochester has not changed much.
