If you've watched movies that have scenes that take place in New York City, chances are good it was shot in Albany, New York. There's a lot of similar buildings and streets and it's much cheaper to close off a section of Downtown Albany than it is to close off a street in NYC.
I love exploring historic cities/towns. I could see how it would be boring if you're not into that, but I love learning so it would be a fun trip for me.
Wow! I live here, this place is a DUMP, A GHETTO. You have to be to see what it's really like, seventeen gang shootings this year, 140 last year, 41 death. You're seeing a drive through, that's all.
I remember Albany being a down and out city. I went there for a festival near Washington Park. I thought the architecture was beautiful (even the modern egg), but it seemed like it had better days.
Albany is a great city but I have some advice don’t get caught up in the south and north end there not that great and have a lot of crime downtown Albany is great they have lots of resterants but remember it’s a city there’s good parts and bad parts Albany is great but a lot of streaks have crime just be careful we’re you go and you can have a lot of fun there.
At 11:20 the SUNY Hdqtrs bldg the highway bridges right behind it were used to film a chase scene in the movie 'SALT', also part of the downtown area near the Palace Theater. Very cool to know that Hollywood loves this area.
New York seems to be behind most states. In Wisconsin every city or town is required to have a comprehensive plan. Where I live we have had over 5 since 1960 and now they must be updated every 10 years.
Lived here for 20 years and its by far the worst place ive ever lived. People are not friendly and you never feel comfortable here. Its very awkward, never seen anything like it. Have 8 years left before i can retire and after i move out i would never step foot back here again. Avoid this city at all costs, trust me on this one.
@@MrTrackman100 yeah im pretty sure its not me. Im friendly to everyone unfortunately its just not returned here. I travel back home a lot so i get the friendliness when im there so it all works out in the end.
Cubans from Albany ny tomorrow in Albany on Henry Johnson blvd we will meet Cuban in apollo for the freedom of Cuba something passifiable please who can join this cause
It is, I moved here 3 years ago and I can't make friends. I tried making a few friends at work and every one of them turned out to have some hard drug addiction and started asking me to take them on drug runs. One of them was my manager at the time. The roads are just a complete mess of lazy work and cut corners accumulated over time. Driving makes me straight up angry because my car is always being rattled, which also means you gotta dump more money in your car to get your shit straightened out every 3 or 4 months.

I believe they filmed a show set in NYC in Troy recently

Great.
I would like to be there 💛 I like the vibe of this place
If possible, come to visit during fall time.
Albany is a freaking dump I avoid that place like the plague it's a good place to get robbed
I love it 😍 I just moved to Albany a little over a year ago
Good for you ☺️
A city from 45 thousand to a city 97 thousand seems like such a huge difference..The amount of buildings is huge! Albany is teaming with life! Great!

THanks. Your advice is so true.
Thanks for advice!! Will remember next time I go back to the NY 🤗
Each city has bad spots and great spots thanks for the tip I will make sure to visit down town Albany.
Born and raised there live in west coast now good job

I was in NYC, I would like to visit Albany. Thanks for the video. Greetings from Colombia
@Vytautas Borisas Did you mean that a lot of Colombians live there ?
Great city!
Thanks.
The NYS dept of Education's collonade is impressive. That's all I got right now.
State Street is great for taking photos
Sorcerer Vaati64 yes. State street near NY state capitol and Empire State plaza are very nice location to take photos.
And scoring heroin or getting robbed but the best part about State Street it gets you out of Albany
Amazing buildings for a medium sized city. Some beautiful churches also
Yes indeed!
Nice
new friend here...All the best from Croatia
Thank you so much my new friend. Croatia is a beautiful country. Wish you the best too.

Thank you. Good to know.

Nice view. Awesome city 👍🏻

Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing, liked and subscribed! Stay connected..
Thank you, I will.
Well done!
Thank you so much. I am glad that you like it. Have great weekend.🤝
1 bus goes all the way to colonie mall, 12 bus goes to gross gates mall
I've been to both malls.
BGM name pls??
I think HH Richardson designed the State Capitol (Romanesque Revival).
also albany city hall
I ❤Albany.
Thanks 😊
did you go down Clinton ave
Nobody ever drivers around the west end of the city for some reason.It looks much more suburban
Thank you . Would you have any route in mind?

Wow! So much anger. Sure it isn't you rather than the city?

@@wd8085 OK. I respect your view.
All the positive comments! Your view seems more realistic. I live across across the river and normally avoid anything with the word city in it.
These drivers are almost worst than the drivers here in Seattle, WA
Excuse me I’m look for 110 State St (NYLRS)
5:45
If you ain’t 50+ yrs old
You would under stand !
southwest corner of state and lodge
Why does New York have such an archaic traffic light system hanging on wires. Some intersections are updated to pole signs however.
Because our representatives give all of our tax dollars to nyc... after they line their pockets with half of it
MY UNIVERSE I OWN, IS NOW LITTLE PEOPLE IN THAT SITE. AND WE CALL THEM MUSEUM OF MY ART'S,
Memory lane
it's quiet downtown..
Yeah in between gunshots
@@harrynutsack5173 really? I feel calm when I visit Albany.
Cubans from Albany ny tomorrow in Albany on Henry Johnson blvd we will meet Cuban in apollo for the freedom of Cuba something passifiable please who can join this cause
esta es Albany NY la Capital
Movie. Resusitation. Air plane.
Poor school district though.
Looks a little too urban for me
whitesongs73 Thanks. Have great weekend.
@@lwltravel4782 you too. Have a blessed one
Its not really all that tbh
3 miles in either direction and ur in the country. Beautiful lakes and mountains
Poor quality, no sound and nobody to tell you the steet and place.
Quality is quite good, no one wants to hear a blabbermouth while driving and the street names are shown in the bottom left corner.
Be real, Larry.
Damn albany seems so dead and depressing
It is dead and depressing, but it can still be a nice place. I usually go there, to go to the crossgates mall

Trill Will, facts. Albany feels like it’s abandoned even though it has like 100k people. One of the most depressing places.
Trill Will, the only nice part about Albany is the Crossgates mall
Apart from some "pretty" neo-classical architecture, Albany has nothing else going for it. It's basically just a pit stop on the way to Canada.

Mostly black people around, Strange
Really? how so??
Is that a problem?
@@cherishamoura9233 he's probably from one of the northern states besides New York and Michigan
Where else r they suppose to be
Yup we all over the world including Albany ny. Yes it is strange because we a strange race and that makes us unique.. strange is good don't you think?
