Did you know Rochester’s population exploded 1000% after the Erie Canal opened in 1825? 🤯 This legendary waterway didn’t just move wheat, it moved America forward. From mule-drawn boats to paddleboards, the canal’s glow-up is still going strong in #GreaterROC.💙 #ErieCanal200

“People come here and they’re just in awe of our area.” For decades, @cmacevents has been the premier venue for summer entertainment in the #FingerLakes. It’s not just a concert venue; it’s a music-driven memory maker. That’s the magic of CMAC. That’s the power of #GreaterROC
