I'm not sure where you get your WASP information from, but Rochester has one of the largest Italian populations per capita in the united states. Waspy? Whatever. Not to mention having an extremely large Jewish population. Additionally, there are more catholics here per capita than you would expect. WASPY? Get a clue.
I love living in Rochester. I like that I can see my Bills whenever I want, can shop at Wegmans, can get a Garbage Plate (yeah, garbage plates are waspy), can see one of the best Philharmonics in the US, etc. Rochester is a very well-rounded city and there isn't a city in WNY I'd rather live in.
