    A greeting from the tour chairperson Welcome to the 17th Annual Inside Downtown Tour! We’ve learned to be nimble during the yearlong pandemic and discovered that our virtual programs are reaching a whole new audience. Thank you for choosing to purchase an access ticket to the virtual tour. It will be available for your viewing pleasure from Friday night March 19th through Sunday night March 28th. Our 2020 Inside Downtown tour, highlighting our downtown core, this year showcases the evolution of downtown urban living for more than 100 years. Rochester and its downtown neighborhoods are historically significant through its culture, community as well as its brick and mortar. Each historic structure speaks to cultures and citizens that have passed through - with their accomplishments and setbacks; children who have grown to effect change whether near or far. The remaining gems are structures with good bones...all tell a story; some have new chapters some are waiting to begin anew. We also honor new construction that shows a connection to the environment, sensitively designed. Those that can be saved must be so for in that effort to reconnect, we too, are rehabilitated and reinvigorated. The Landmark Society works tirelessly to ensure this higher purpose. As community members, we often hear about urban efforts to repurpose, rehabilitate, and create ways to reuse historic buildings. Through this video, you will experience these iconic structures that are now vibrant with life. You will see why developers, residents and businesses have chosen to commit to Rochester’s centre city. What’s old is new, infused with a sense of community building and purpose.

Well, as we all know, at that time there WAS NO CHICKEN WING FESTIVAL in Buffalo, NY…..at least not yet.
