I'm from Ireland and I was there in 2006 the last time. I have a huge amount of relations in this part of New york. I'd love to go back, very found memories there that summer.
What's funny is my ancestors came from Ireland and settled in Troy NY in the Albany area, before my great grandfather left and went to Maryland that's where all of the Irish side of my family lived.
I DO agree...Albany is an underrated little treasure..new york(state) and places like Buffalo and Rochester(well known for his spiritual thing with Fox sisters) are quite amazing too.
Looks so historic and clean. I live in Austin. Austin has become an expensive, crime ridden crowded dirty city with the never ending heat and humidity. One day, maybe I can come to Albany.
@@shellyscholz1256 but you can’t take the fact away that Albany has nice architecture. It’s an architects heaven for sightseeing. The only problem is that these landmarks stand out as an eyesore. They need to add more buildings or taller structures to surround these landmarks while complimenting the architectural aesthetic of it.
@@shellyscholz1256 i ve lived in both Austin Texas and Albany New York . Albany is much better in crime rate and life style and cleanliness when compared to places in Texas .
I had literally never heard about this city before today. At the same time I also found out it is the capital of the state of New York, which I had always just assumed was New York city. But what a beautiful city this is. I'd love to live here.
Actually Albany is only one part of the area of 3 great cities (Tri Cities Area: Albany, Schenectady & Troy), each with their own unique history, downtown areas and adjoining suburbs.
Some of us here in Albany call it the non City because it is so nice to live here without the crowds of bigger city's but with all the amenities since it is the Capitol of NY The whole capitol region has only 1 million people and Albany itself just 100,000 I can call or even just show up and be seated in a top quality restaurant with out a weeks notice Much more that the repeated pics of memorials depicted here, Albany has world class theater, concert halls, museums and restaurants. Wednesdays, thru the summer, world class acts perform at the Empire State Plaza and on Thursdays "Alive at 5" in the Corning preserve also brings top artists. All free... Also if you must crave more people:... New York city, Montreal, Boston, Cape cod are all less than 3 hours away
So I have a winter home in Florida.. hate the humidity , mosquitos and driving in Florida … i miss Albany when I see other states . My daughter is in Cleveland Ohio . Most towns look like ghost towns in Ohio when compared to Albany
I like your sarcasm. Every city in the world has better and worse areas. If you arrive in Romania, Bucharest I will wait for you in the Ferentari district (sarcasm by the way)
Huhhh?? I live in Albany, and it’s a DUMP!!!! It never looks this clean 😂 downtown is a mess, lots of streets that I hate walking on, tons of homeless people harrassing you for some money and flip shit if you don’t (via driving). Yeah the Empire State plazas/state buildings are nice, but that’s just a tiny piece. College kids everywhere during fall time which means lots of frat party’s and garbage everywhere.
Your history seems to be correct, but the visual never matches the narration. Why not show the areas you're describing? And you filmed at Empire State Plaza, but never said anything about it. Do you know anything about Albany, yourself? I mean anything more than glancing at the Wikipedia page for more than five minutes. You need more footage, too. More than up and down Western Ave and the government buildings on State St and Washington Ave.
M K, thank you for your comment and interest. I don't even want the areas shown to be described. I wouldn't be able to, I only spent an hour in Albany, and I found it fascinating.
Albany is not underrated at all. It’s a run down city with a downtown that is more or less empty, with shops that nobody goes to. The only good thing Albany has is the crossgates mall, which is a pretty nice mall. Outside of that, Albany is lame.
I used to live in Woodlake Apartments, right across the street from the mall and SUNY Albany (still its official name, by the way). I loved the area, and the people.
@@purplesprigs Albany is boring in my opinion. Nothing much goes on there compared to other parts of the country. It’s basically just a few big highways that are always stuffed with people going to work, yet the actual city itself is more or less a ghost town. I live in Omaha now, and it’s a much nicer place. I’m glad you enjoyed Albany though.
Albany has nice areas and dumpy areas. Just like most cities. I live in one of the fastest growing cities in the country (Austin) and there are homeless everywhere (and high taxes!)
The education building really is a work of art
Yes. Very beautiful building!
@@marakahl my first job was located in education building .
I hear they have really good steamed hams!
Yes. They have :)

Is my dream to visit Austin.... Stevie Ray Vaughan's home town in Austin Texas. My favorite guitar player.
Albany is not clean and beautiful, these clips are avoiding the violence and record numbers of condemned buildings.
Like how Hartford is the Capital of Connecticut and is the most violent, poverty stricken city in the state and not Stamford.

I know "steamed hams" is an Albany expression if I am not mistaken
yes, it seems so

Hello Sven. Maybe someday you will visit this city. Who knows?
@@6AMTravel it's definitely on my radar now.
I live here it has very historical places and it's great to visit but it has some down sides but still a great place
@@Miah-k8i every place in the world is beautiful in its own way and has its downsides
Uh, no. Downtown Albany is actually awful. The best thing about the area are actually the suburbs.
We will be migrating with my family in albany. We are excited yet somehow anxious. I hope everything goes well.
I hope the same for you!!
@@K.I0731 I lived there for 12 years. Don't move there, you will hate the winters.
Winters are bad . But the place is peaceful and good …
@@gurus3694 Not much to do there ,it's been a dying city for decades.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. I wish I could have spent more time in Albany
Lived in Albany for 12 years. So glad I left and now live in South Florida, love it.
lol
Albany Ny underrated-> EXACTLY and I live in Albany too
Nice!
William Kennedy is Albany’s greatest author
Finally someone who thinks Albany is awesome! Been living here for 23 years and wouldn’t change a thing!
:)
Very good job ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thw place where weird people live and you freeze your ass off all winter. Ugh.
To be honest, I think I'm falling in love with this city 🥹❤️🇺🇲
Good
why
❤
The thing is, is that Albany is not a nice place in the winter.
interesting, I didn't think of that
INSE@@6AMTravelI SECOND THAT , HORRIBLE WINTERS
I miss Albany only in the summer time😅
Why?
So I have a winter home in Florida.. hate the humidity , mosquitos and driving in Florida … i miss Albany when I see other states . My daughter is in Cleveland Ohio . Most towns look like ghost towns in Ohio when compared to Albany
@@6AMTravel I just like it in the 🌞... It's the best place in this season. Winter ❄️ is too long over there
Go ahead and check Saratoga while your at it
Next time!
How is Saratoga?
@@Metalmirq small but pretty
From what I've heard (I'm a New Yorker from Long Island) it's a nice town but TOO COLD in the winter. So, no thanks.
Thank you!! Good to know that.
University which offer's nursing in Albany NY
I did not know! thank you for the information
Show Quail Street and how great Albany really is (sarcasm by the way)
I like your sarcasm. Every city in the world has better and worse areas. If you arrive in Romania, Bucharest I will wait for you in the Ferentari district (sarcasm by the way)
Cringe
Cringe
You can go down Quail 5 blocks either direction of Route 20 and either be in the hood or the suburbs.
They aren’t showing the shootings on Second Ave. nor in the Arbor Hill section. They also aren’t showing the record numbers of condemned buildings.
Huhhh?? I live in Albany, and it’s a DUMP!!!!

May be you did not live in other places to see how dirty they are

Like most cities in the state of NY, they are ruined by the fact that they are in the state of NY
Go live in North Dakota where there's nobody 😆

Albany NY is a dump. Go to Saratoga or Lake George. So many great places in NY state to see, Albany is definitely not one of them.
Thank you! Good to know!

Annnnnd its a dump
worst city in NY besides Troy and schneddy
Imagine having a city worse than Schenectady
