Really enjoy your driving views of Albany ! Lived there for 67 years before moving to Pennsylvania. I miss the city. Almost feel like I’m back there thanks to your videos My Friend. Hope all the protests and violence that’s now come To the city won’t ruin it or lives of it’s citizen.
Some amazing architecture in Albany. 11:40 check out the big cupola on top of the building at the corner of Trinity and Ashgrove. I'll have to look for that next time I'm there. Wouldn't want to explore the alley just down the street though. Looks sinister.
I still don't see the point in just riding around in a very small part.at 44 seconds you are at the eastern edge of the city. Almost at the river. Take a left and drive west towards Colonie and the city goes on for 5-6 miles and looks totally different than this.100 percent different just a mile away.and if you turn right and drive over the river you will be in a rural area in 5 -7 minutes.
Could you make a video for me? I need footage of Third St, the park on third st, Bleeker stadium, PJ's pizza, Ontario St, Quail St, Central Ave (near Pauly's bar) and Livingston Ave
@@neighborhoodguy I would appreciate it. I lived at 448 Third St when I was a kid and that was my stomping grounds. I wrote a song called 518 and I mention all those spots in the song. Some aren't there anymore though. Like the Boys Club on Livingston Ave etc
Albany is rough. Are you down where this dude is filming? This is a bad area, I use to be on the streets down there, probably lucky I'm still alive lol.
To be honest I never lived or grew up in any major city my mom avoided worcester after seeing the Great Brook Valley in the 1970s she needed housing instead moved to Clinton. Now I stay in Hudson and it is growing into a bigger suburban. Pretty safe and quiet at a cost higher though.
I'm not from here originally from jersey. Sad to see a beautiful city run down by pockets of people with no civic pride and who dont give a f about how they live. This place needs to be gentrified asap
Start from where he is driving and head west about 2 to 5 miles The city has many areas much nicer than this. Its actually a nice city in the areas where Albany, Colonie and Guilderland come together.
The are beginning to restore things but not sure how it's gonna work out with out the geopolitics n global issues etc going on and changing the course of everything
@@mikej6624 you look fragile so who are you callin boy BOY? the bronx looks nice all the projects renovated and the vacant lots from back in the day replaced with new buildings
Or for a reall good look at a run down hood and urban blight all around Clinton street near the old governor's mansion and the john howe library and even the port store area (NOT Clinton Ave) heck even in the 1970s and 80s before crack that part of the south end was failing down and succumb to decades and decades of democratic policys
Yeah definitely some rough areas in Albany.... still 88-90% is either decent or actually quite beautiful.... it’s like a small Boston.... in the 1970’s.... so so so much potential... insane property taxes, useless and clueless politicians, and a Soviet Union style mindset when it comes to the local economy.... beat the useless clueless mayor can come up with for economic development is “we get more federal money if our census is good”... can’t make this stuff up... having said that there are 3 running against her in next election who clearly how ZERO experience....nobody here cares about lot holes and keeling streets clean... the local leaders babble about climate change and social justice.... its insanity
You haven't been here lately then, my city is an absolute dump. Everything is falling apart, abandoned buildings, gang violence. 140 shootings and 41 deaths last year. Sickening.
@@markjones7185 I am here in Albany for the past almost 20 years. No doubt some areas are being decimated. Our mayor and police chief are a disaster. "Community policing " is a joke and an utter failure. Not one idiot in charge in this state (or USA) will admit the real problems...people need jobs and industry and structure and safety and education and families. We cannot keep poor people all together in a tinder box without any hope and expect things to improve. I feel your pain. The city still has some incredible things going for it but it needs someone to take the bull by the horns and fix it. There is NO REASON for people in Loudonville and Delmar to have essentially private schools and police forces with black lives matter signs on than manicured lawns but are unwillingly to allow school choice in their towns!!!! The people in inner city America need a chance!!!! Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The policies for the past 200 and mores specifically the past 60-70 years have been an utter catastrophe. We've had as many shootings Albany as deaths from Covid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And nobody seems to care.
@@brianog5267 I ran up to a police officer after a dude asked me for $ then waited outside the small ATM for me & the COP just IGNORED ME. The dude was just chilling, hustling people for money outside the bank. He could have @ least told him to leave!! Everytime I leave my apt. @ least one person asks for $ and 2 ppl ask for Newports....🙇

You like Pennsylvania better than Albany?
Don't worry, no protests, but still and always a Democrat DUMP
Move back... You'll LOVE it!!!!!!!!!
Watch out for Osbourne towing. Be careful where you park too. They have spotters all over the city. Waiting to steal your car.
that city has seen it's day
Love your Albany vids man could you do deliware ave now?
Grew up in them projects on Green St in the 70's-early 80's. Time of my life.

The alley is a fun place! Hidden from everything
This where I’m from a lot of stuff happened down here I stayed wit my pops down here and it was tough

Albany is a very unique place. Been through there a couple times, I never saw anywhere else that looked like it
Yea bro definitely a cool city 👍
@JC1985 I see what you mean
I was born there. It sucks now
By unique if you mean shit then I agree.great suburbs shit city.
Albany has a eastern Europe In the 90s crippling depression vibe gray concrete and poverty
Could you make a video for me? I need footage of Third St, the park on third st, Bleeker stadium, PJ's pizza, Ontario St, Quail St, Central Ave (near Pauly's bar) and Livingston Ave
might take me a minute but I'll be back up that way 👍👍
i have a bunch of other Albany videos on my page I know Ontario is in the other ones I have some over by Orange street
@@neighborhoodguy I would appreciate it. I lived at 448 Third St when I was a kid and that was my stomping grounds. I wrote a song called 518 and I mention all those spots in the song. Some aren't there anymore though. Like the Boys Club on Livingston Ave etc

How do you like there? How is the work situation there?
You missed 2nd ave, you can't tour the south end and not go down 2nd.
Yep, where we grew up, now a dilapidated dump. So sad.
You’re 100% correct
I live in Massachusetts and Worcester got really bad years ago like that now the whole city is scaling up and will cost more now lots of construction.
I live here in Worcester to by Webster sq
I hate living in Worcester this video reminds of alot of Worcester ghettos
To be honest I never lived or grew up in any major city my mom avoided worcester after seeing the Great Brook Valley in the 1970s she needed housing instead moved to Clinton. Now I stay in Hudson and it is growing into a bigger suburban. Pretty safe and quiet at a cost higher though.
