By Lisa Loucks-Christenson, Founder, MMJ, and Publisher of the Rochester Sun Times News
April 5,, 2026 Rochesterians—that's you, me, the Mayo Clinic nurses, IBM engineers, and birdwatchers along the Zumbro River. Our city of 123,000 proudly claims both names.
Rochesterites rolls off tongues at coffee shops; Rochesterians suits our professional newsroom. Rochester Sun Times News chooses Rochesterians—polished enough for hospital exposés, warm enough for wildlife stories.
