[edit] Libby Foods name

I don't think the "Libby Foods" factory is called that anymore. Not even sure if any Libby branded corn is canned there anymore.

It is, and the plant has smaller "Libby's" signs next to each of the larger ones that say "Seneca Foods". I drive by there nearly every day. Jonathunder 04:42, 2005 July 31 (UTC)

[edit] Best City in America

I'm suprised that this article doesn't mention the fabled "Best City in America" designation that Rochester is still so proud of.

Now it does, but the link is dead. Kablammo 17:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article organization and content

This article seems to read too much like a tourist brochure rather than an encyclopedia article. Listing things such a parking hours goes way beyond the scope of Wikipedia. Also, there shouldn't be an "Overview" section. The intro paragraph is the overview. This section should be merged into the other sections.--Daveswagon 08:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

This article has now been reorganized to bring it in line with the Template for a U.S. City. More work needs to be done, especially on history, commerce and industry, education, and government (currently empty). Redundancies and some of the puffery have also been removed.

[edit] "2,005" estimate

The little stat table on the right side reads "Population 97,___ (2,005 est.)" but the edit page says "2005". I retyped it to remove the possible comma's specter but to no avail. Probably just a gremlin in the Net--but an annoying one.Levelistchampion 07:04, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

It must be in the template. I just took it out as the line above already says 2005. One caveat: I believe the 2005 estimate is from the state demographer, but the density is actually from the 2000 census figures. Kablammo 11:40, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
