Downtown Schenectady 🇺🇸 | Schenectady, New York, USA 🇺🇸 | Walk Tour

"Downtown Schenectady is the central business district for the city of Schenectady, New York. It originated in the 1820s with the moving of the commercial and industrial interests east from the original 17th and 18th century settlement, spurred on by the development of the Erie Canal. Home to the headquarters and major manufacturing plants of two large corporations, General Electric and American Locomotive Company, Downtown Schenectady catered to tens of thousands of workers in its heyday. Typical of the post-industrial Northeastern United States and Upstate New York in particular, Downtown Schenectady saw a decline in manufacturing and population starting in the 1970s. Recent construction and renovation has caused the downtown area to become an entertainment mecca for New York's Capital District anchored by Proctor's Theatre."

I left in 1992 when my husband retired from the Schenectady Fire Dept.
I have missed Home…every day.
I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour - very nicely done, however… would have loved some narration.
Maybe neXt time. 🤗

Wow. Gone since 1978. Lot's of changes! I remember The Carl Company, Apex Records, Woolworths, Plaza, Proctors and State theaters, Wallace's Dept. Store, White Castle Hamburgers, Army-Navy Store.

Things went really south when jack Welch took over G.E. but they have recovered a bit. It will never be what it was though.
