Downtown Rochester is defined by Main Street; State Street; and the major crossroads of those streets. It is the core of one of New York States most important cities. Rochesters Downtown recaptures the golden era when downtown bloomed as a mecca for daytime workers and shoppers and for an evenings entertainment at vibrant social centers. Rochesters Downtown celebrates the people of this great city as they progress from their early beginnings to create a dynamic business center. This excellent collection of images regenerates the excitement of riding the trolley; of watching a movie at the Palace or the Capitol; of window-shopping at the Duffy-Powers Store; and of tasting frosted malteds at Sibleys or warm doughnuts from the Mayflower Donut Shop or spoonfuls of roasted peanuts from Mr. Peanut Man. The narrative recalls Scrantoms as the place to buy books; Neisners having the latest 78-rpm records; McCurdys and Edwards with their special holiday displays; Eddies Chop House for memorable dinners; and the Century Sweet Shop for after-theater sundaes.
