Rochester: A City of Quality gave a look at the valley surrounding the city. The blending of the outlying surroundings, waterways, farming communities and fields contrast the city that comes in to view through the next scenes.
The heart of the city of Rochester, and probably all cities, is ever changing. This clip shows the progress that continues to go on in regards to building and transportation. The historic factors brought at the beginning of the clip show a slow, soft pace. With the change of times, every mode of transportation was utilized in order to move people. From airports, trains, and of course automobiles, the people of the city are shown adapting to the changing society.
This clip helped put in perspective the way transportation has evolved to fill a need of industry. Oftentimes, I forget the pace that once was just 30 years ago; a much slower time, where the fast rate of transportation was not necessarily foremost on the minds of officials. However, as the cities change, as revealed in this clip, adaptations were made. Fascinating to see the progression of city life, and this gave a wonderful glimpse into the process.
