I used to live there decades ago. It was nice and the schools were great back then. I know it's changed a lot since then though. I miss my childhood friends and wish I knew their last names and how to find them again, but I was too young and have no one left to ask..

I was stationed at Griffiss 1978-1982. Rome was a bustling military city. It was a great little city. The closing of the air base was a death sentence for Rome. In order to thrive it would need another military post there or a university to set up shop there to breathe life back in to it!

It's sad. In the 80's and 90's the Utica/Rome area was a wonderful place to live. When Griffiss left they took a lot of business with them, took a lot of jobs with them and left the area in total disarray.

I grew up in Rome. Lived in Los Angeles now for 33 years. Rome is still quite but very historical. The Fort is still standing and is where Pres. George Washington was stationed for a while. If you're looking for haunted and historical places, then that's the place to go.

I might be moving there with my husband and children because my husband may have found a good job there. I grew up in Rome, Italy, I now live in Washington State and when my husband said Rome, NY, I couldn’t help but laugh for a solid minute 😂 it looks beautiful

Should have continued on to West Dominick that was reopened 25 years ago. It's starting to revive from its Urban Renewal effects with shops and restaurants beginning to open up. That's where there's something interesting to see.

Ithaca is a college town with a ton of outdoor attractions and restaurants it’s not easy to beat plus it’s on the shores of a beautiful lake. Rome is improving over the last couple of years but has a way to go.
