On that date, yes. On Sundays it basically looked like a ghost town like in most cities in Upstate NY unless there is a festival going like the Famous Jazz Festival which is happening right now. That festival can be very entertaining. Here is more info about it: www.rochesterjazz.com/

You are welcome! Thank you so much for viewing my content. I really appreciate it. While Rochester might not be the flashiest city, it's definitely improving its architecture, especially for its age and size. There's some new construction, and improvement going on, and even though things might not be moving at breakneck speed, it feels like we're headed in a positive direction as far as the look of the city is concern. Overall this city has a ton of room for improvement, but the same things can be said of many city from of all sizes, and status around the world.

@@LuisCruz-yg6rs Years ago in the neighborhoods there were many big older homes with beautiful architectural features that were subdivided into apartments. If you drive around the city in many of the residential areas you will see empty lots with metal poles sticking up so nobody can park in there. Used to be gorgeous homes on many of those vacant lots, but due to neglect they either burned down or were torn down because they were in such bad shape.

@@MalibuBon Thank you for sharing that info about Rochester.I did not know that. It is sad that our "governments" sometimes do not put our hard earn money to good use. From time to time, I ask my self this question: Why are you taking so much or our money if most of the time I feel like I do not know where it is going? Perhaps I just need some new glasses. Lol

@@LuisCruz-yg6rs Grand Avenue, Parsells Avenue and more streets between Culver and Webster had gorgeous old houses that are now gone, empty lots. If you go on Google Maps and check out the old pictures, you can see some of them.

I am happy to hear that!

That place is one the most vibrant places in the area. It is an amazing place from the outside, and I am sure it is even more impressive inside, especially when artists are performing. I look forward to go to an event in the near future.

I appreciate it. Thank you!

Si suele ser bien fría especialmente en el invierno

I appreciate your support. Thank you Mark!

Thank you bro!

Thank you Mark! You got this man. I look forward to seeing your videos.

Thank you!

Thank you! I am happy to hear that you enjoy my content, and I agree, we do have many beautiful spots in the Rochester Area.

Yeah, the downfall of Kodak, and Xerox is definitely impacting the growth of Rochester in more ways that I can count. I do think that higher crime is becoming a world wide epidemic these days that needs a lot of attention from all of us, so that we can hopefully change things for the better.

Ty for your support man! It is always appreciated.

@@LuisCruz-yg6rs no doubt

Thank you for the compliments, I appreciate it. I hope you can find a nice house near the Beach. It is definitely one of the nicest places to get a home in Rochester. You have a nice day!

Absolutely!

Indeed! I wish we could some bring back Rochester to what it used to be when midtown plaza was a thing. I had some good memories of that place.

You are welcome! I am glad to know that you like it!

I appreciate it bro!

Thank you for sharing your feed back with me. I appreciated it man! I think I was going for a more photographic look to emphasis the colors of the scenes but I over saturated the color more than necessary in the process. In regards to the stuttering, I recorded the video in 24fps, and use a timeline of 24fps, so I am not sure what is the reason the video us stuttering.. Could be some of the bit rate settings that I use to export the video, but I am not sure to be honest. If you can provide me any recommendation to help prevent this issue, I will really appreciate it.

@@LuisCruz-yg6rs no problem. My guess would be that you intended to shoot at 24 but in fact shot at 25. This stuttering issue is very typical of this and almost nothing else causes this. Another eventuality would be if you had changed the speed of recording a little on the timeline.

@@LiveMyJourneyTom Thank you for the tip. Yes, I did change the speed of the some clips using speed ramps here and there to speed things up a bi for some clips where was I panning too slow. I will make sure to try to avoid that with panning shots. Ty for you help!

@@LuisCruz-yg6rs when you absolutely have to change speed it's obviously best to shoot at double the natural frame rate and slow to 50%. If something was shot in natural fps or you want to slow it down by a different ammout you can add optical flow effect to make up for the gaps.

@@LiveMyJourneyTom Thank you will make sure to keep those great tips in mind!

Thank you!

I agree! Now days we have companies like Amazon , but this type of businesses will most likely never match the type of prosperity change that companies like Xerox, and Kodak brought to the Rochester Area.

Thank you!

Work in progress. Thank you for stopping by, and have a great day!

I completely understand your sentiment. I, too, have a preference for less crowded cities. While I enjoy visiting the bustling metropolis of New York City occasionally, I personally lean towards a more natural and rural environment. I find solace and inspiration in nature, and it resonates with my true essence. When I retire, my dream is to relocate to a rural area in the Caribbean, which is where I originally come from.

​@@JJ-lr9svThat's on the city of Rochester and the garbage men. Some areas in the city don't get street cleaners sent to it at all. A lot of the garbage man don't have respect or regard for the city residents and just throw the trash everywhere when they're picking up the trash cans. They wouldn't dare do that and Greece or Irondequoit

Good afternoon, Thank you for watching this video! I chose to schedule most of my video shoots on Sundays for two reasons. Firstly, I felt less at ease filming in large crowds of people, and Sundays tend to be quieter and less crowded in Rochester. Secondly, Sundays typically provide me with the most available time for shooting, allowing me to dedicate ample focus and attention to capturing the footage. However, I am enthusiastic about expanding my video content to document various other aspects and locations within Rochester. Please feel free to share a Downtown locations that you will like to see in an upcoming video. I will do my best to work make it a reality in a future video. You have good day!

You pretty much got it, maybe the east end with Eastman theatre. Rochester is pretty much just Main Street. After that it’s residential and the hood.

​@@charles-y2z6cThat's how most cities are. IDK why most Rochesterians say that like it's a negative, I'm guessing that they're not getting out of Rochester? But if you pay attention to the news or travel a bit Rochester has a lot in common with a lot of other inner cities. The city of Rochester has all but abandoned taking care of the inner city for at least 15 years!

I think they go to Florida for vacation during the winter, and "forget" to come back.

@LuisCruz-yg6rs yes, lol, I'm in FL and wish I was there

​@@pwyman5540 I would not recommend anyone to come to Rochester right now due to the heavy smoke and pollution coming from Canada's recent wildfires. It is during times like this that I find myself wishing I were living in Florida. If you insist on being here, I am open to switching places with you until the fires subside. lol

Yes they did and I'm one of them

Yes indeed!

Me too. I think we all did around then and through the next ten years. Eleven of my friends and I moved to California in that era. While we shared some of the best time in Roachdale, we never looked back.

Hi, I agree. Next time I plan on recording during a time of the week when there will be plenty of people. It should make things a lot more interesting.

Thank you my brother. I appreciate it!

Thank you Ryan!

@@LuisCruz-yg6rsWhat’s the name of the background song? It is beautiful.
