Growing up in western Massachusetts, I am very familiar with Rensselaer, Albany, Schenectady and other NY cities. Troy was always considered as a dangerous and dirty place to live. It has high crime, drug abuse and other atrocities. What surprises me is that they chose to film there. You can see the beautiful palatial homes in disrepair or turned into apartment buildings, offices or places for the homeless to squat. I hope this amazing series brings the area back into its former state of grandeur, or at least a place people will want to visit and possibly live. So far this series is amazing… which is not surprising being that Julian Fellowes is behind it!
it has already come back quite a bit from its low. Still lots of work to go but Troy is becoming a trendy place to hangout and draws in a lot of people from the suburbs every weekend to its downtown
Thank you for sharing this
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
If may when best time & locations see changing of leaves in Autumn? Thank you in advance!!

Do you know if they power washed or painted any of the buildings before filming? Everything looks so brand new.
Yeah I think they did. I saw that they renovated the shops even with tiny detail.
did you capture these photos and other gilded age videos you have your channel?
Yeah, thank you for watching ! 😀
