I turned down a transfer to Pittsburgh, and applied for a transfer to Rochester. However, there’s some competition for the job and I may set my backup for Canandaigua. I know it’s not going to be a city-like setting, but I’ve never been there. ---

beautiful place with absolutely crazy high taxes. I has a nice feel to it just big enough to be easy and small enough to be enjoyable. ---

[quote=“soopa7fly,post:3,topic:40110"”] is there any nightlife or anything? [/quote] HHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! McGregor’s is your only bet there. Still, kind of a neat little town. I lived very close to there for quite a while, and my parents still live in Bristol Center, about 10 minutes away. ---

Nightlife is watching the streetlights turn on out there. Nice place to visit…boring place to live…esp. in your 20s ---

[quote=“eesti,post:8,topic:40110"”] Canadaigua nightlife = drive to Rochester [/quote] Pretty much. There are a few bars on main street but you get sick of them quickly. Also, Ontario county has had the #1 most DWI arrests in the state for past 20 something years, it’s how they make a lot of their money, so watch out. Every Thursday in the summer Wegmans has a little car show/cruise in their parking lot and people hang out on the pier. It’s also illegal to skate down the sidewalks… It’s a nice area with the lake and everything in the summer. I grew up in Honeoye, which is close, and it’s one of those nice places to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there areas. ---

[quote=“dirtye30,post:5,topic:40110"”] its not a city. its a town. [/quote] huh, yes it is. Theres the city and then the town. My ex lives there so I’ve spent a decent amount of time there over the past 2 years. Canandaigua is great. The taxes are through the roof but it’s a great place for a family. Especially if you like watersports and such. The lake is clean as fuck and there’s plenty of activity on it during the summer. Nightlife is nearly non-existent tho. ---

Canandaigua is beautiful, and Rochester is about 25-30 minutes away. There isn’t much of a night life, there are a few bars though. Nothing exciting, really. I’d love to live there, though. It’s clean and pretty, and right by a very nice lake. (I grew up in Victor, and my horse lives in Canandaigua) ---
