Before you click on the video above notice the old downtown Rochester Public Library Building. It is still part of the library but a new, much larger building sits across the street from it now. The streams of water coming out of the building are old races, running off the Genesee River, left over from the days when Rochester was know as the Flour City because of the many mills. And the double decker bridge to the left used to carry the Erie Canal across the Genesee.
I raided Peggi’s hard drive for the footage in this video, her sweeping panoramas of river downtown, the beach in Costa Rica, the psychedelic swans and the guy playing bagpipes in the park. If anybody knows who that guy is I would like to credit him for his performance.
