  • Driving around downtown, Albany, NY, the Capital of New York State, USA. The landmarks includes NY State Capitol Building, Albany City Hall, NY State Education Department Building, NY State Museum, SUNY Building etc.
    Albany (/ˈɔːlbəni/ (About this soundlisten) AWL-bə-nee) is the capital of the U.S. state of New York and the seat of Albany County. Albany is located on the west bank of the Hudson River approximately 10 miles (16 km) south of its confluence with the Mohawk River and approximately 135 miles (220 km) north of New York City.[7]
    Albany is known for its rich history, commerce, culture, architecture, and institutions of higher education. Albany constitutes the economic and cultural core of the Capital District of New York State, which comprises the Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area, including the nearby cities and suburbs of Troy, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs. With a 2013 Census-estimated population of 1.1 million[8] the Capital District is the third-most populous metropolitan region in the state. As of the 2010 census, the population of Albany was 97,856.

    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 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.

    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.

      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.
