So, the Rochester-Toronto ferry, "The Breeze," responsible for perhaps half our daily search engine traffic, made its first cross-lake run last week.
The best part of the Toronto Sun review (linked above):
Rochesterians are nothing if not frank. They remind one of Torontonians — self-deprecating, unsure of themselves, concerned that outsiders won't like them, and not sure that what keeps them there will be enough to attract a stranger.
Bud Kiske, a lifelong resident at 68, slags his downtown, and his city's lack of attractions and eating establishments. Then he examines a local NBC television reporter covering the event and says: "She looks a lot prettier on TV. I bet you have better-looking reporters in Toronto."
Anyway, it's too bad not many people actually use the thing, but there is some hope for the future, strangely enough in the health care sector. Apparently, some think the ferry will be used by rich Canadians looking to skip long queues by seeking treatment in America and poorer Americans looking to avoid price-gouging by pharmaceutical companies by getting drugs across the lake.
