No one remembers when FORD tried to build a plant in Rome and was turned down by then-Mayor Valentine. Then he tried to "revitalize" downtown Rome by tearing it apart and closing off the 100 and 200 blocks of W.Dominick St...effectively ripping out the heart of downtown and killing it. Downtown Rome isn't the same anymore. And they didn't need to build that goddamned fort stanwix either! You wanna remember the fort???...PUT UP A PLAQUE!!!
Wrong. Ever since they converted the State School to a prison, the welfare mothers and their offspring have moved into the area to be closer to the convict baby daddys.
I totally disagree with this show of Rome, NY on ABC News. Granted, Rome is not what it used to be when I was a child, it is not that bad off. What does everyone expect from the Griffis closing in 1994? I think that ABC should have shown more than 1 view of the city. What about the prosperity?
exactly. they should have filmed some other footage. they pretty much picked the worst parts to broadcast to try to make this city look worse off. but whatever, that's the media's job, and god knows they do it well unfortunately.
what porperity? their is no prosperity. i mean they as soon as they got off the train they were in a crappy area. the station is in a crappy area. and go over the bridge and what do ya see?? nothibng but worn down and closed factories. they didn't really have to go that far to see that rome is crappy
hey you're kind of a dick, aren't you? i agree that all of the information in that clip is correct, but you don't need to make ridiculous generalizations about all of the people who live here. granted, i'm leaving next month to go to college in syracuse, and i probably won't come back often, but come on... the people here are sweethearts. the real person who sucks is you.
