The High Falls of the Genesee River in Rochester (like the Lower Falls) could've easily become a real scenic icon. However, one look at it and you can sense it's out-of-place with the beat-up factories and buildings surrounding the river (which I'm sure is polluted). Nonetheless, there remains a relative calm to the area as you can enjoy the falls from a long pedestrian bridge over the river. I can totally see employees from the nearby Kodak building taking a stroll over here during there breaks to perhaps unwind a little before rejoining the fray. Imagine that for a lunch break!
