Rochester has a lot of stuff it's made. But Kodak seems to take the spotlight all the time. Good ol Kodachrome.

Robert E. Rich, Sr. of Buffalo, was a food-processing pioneer who, in 1945, invented the first non-dairy whipped topping that could be frozen.

Ice cream cones were invented in St Louis at the 1904 World's Fair. Now we have an ice cream company based here called "World's Fair".
Budweiser beer was also invented here and the factory is one of the most visited places in the whole city. The Anheuser-Busch family is similar to the Royal Family of England here because everyone always knows everything about what they're doing. There's a lot more drama involved though.
Oh yeah and it's obligatory that #BlackLivesMatter began here since Michael Brown was killed in a suburb of St. Louis.
