Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rochester Ways
In the matter of pageants a new custom has lately come to Rochester. It is to rope Off Main street and clear it of traffic. The cus tom has a civic merit. It gives to Rochester ians a chance to think about the street, and to note its dignity and what degree of beauty it has. In the pressure and turmoil of traffic this may seem little; but who is there, having from the vantage point of stand or window the view up and down the street on such an occasion, that does not feel some pride at the Spectacle? The long thoroughfare is gay at these times with ?ags and bunting from end to end. The fine proportions, which are emphasized by the gleaming car tracks taper ing in perspective; the clean pavement; the ?uttering ?ags; the life and motion Of therope-restrained, impatient crowd, all this makes an urban prospect of uncommon merit for a city of the size of Rochester.
