Troy has definitely seen much better days..I grew up in 60-90’s era and I certainly have a lot of fond memories of that city.Time changes everything,still it certainly was a great time living there back then. I can recall all of those places I now see and remember the way that Troy was SAFE and generally the neighborhoods all got along and took pride in their homes.Sadly crime has its foothold on the city it’s really a shame 😢😢
Streets I walked on as a boy, from 1965 to 1972. Lived at 572 River St, walked to School 1, Napoli Bakery, St Patrick's church. Still looks the same after 50 years.
I lived on River Street for awhile too and went to St. Patrick's as a kid and ate the best glazed donuts EVER from Bella Napoli. My brothers went to school with the sons of the owner of Bella Napoli.
This is a ghetto? It looks like a slightly to somewhat rundown neighborhood that's becoming a really nice neighborhood. All those brick rowhouses are solid with architecture unique to the city.
hard to believe that this was probably a great place to live once where people and kids can just enjoy their nieghborhoods and not worry about crime and just go on about your life peacefully
It WAS a great place. I lived in the Beman Park area in the 1950s. Even though it was blue collar, it was a solid middle class neighborhood. A father working in a factory earned enough with one salary so that mothers could stay home and watch the kids. Crime? Unheard of.
About the same as in 1989 when I last saw it. Depressed, with a lot of unrealized potential. This is what happens when New York writes all its laws to punish manufacturing and money-making upstate, while favoring finance giants in New York City. Troy was once the Silicon Valley of the first industrial revolution...
I hate that outside of Nyc, there’s no renovations done so the buildings can hold ‘historical value’ I say screw that. I frequent troy to see the waterfall and it’s not even that it’s ghetto there, all the buildings are just eye sores.
NEIGHBORHOOD GUY great video btw! Don’t let my rant take away from what you’re doing! Im glad you’re showing people things that may not see the light of day otherwise
At 4:01 you're approaching a little intersection we used to call "the three corner stores" because there was a store on all but one of the corners. Pete's, Roddy and Ursula's. Pete's had ALL the penny candy you could want. Ursula's was a nice sized mini market in its heyday. Roddy's started cooking hot food in the late 80s, they did pretty good. I knew them all because I grew up in that area and went to St. Patrick's which was a few yards from all three stores.
God damned Glen Avenue... We lived on Sixth Ave, Seventh Ave, Park Ave, King PJS, Middleburgh and lets not forget Ingalls... Who know about Mr Lee store on Congress and 4th!!! TROY WASSUP!
You say it's a getto it's for sure you haven't seen a getto.where this person is driving around isn't all of Troy and I grew up in this area so I know it well also.syop going in circles and show lansingburg,and other spots that aren't as bad.
I agree there are worse places in troy like Da KINGS projects up the hill or closer to the junkyard I been in 100s of fights in Troy born and raised well hatched and released lmfao
You were driving rear my house before you took a left at 102 towards 2nd. Even saw my sisters car parked outside the titanic. Gonna look back on this vid in a few years when I’m out.
I was born in Troy, NY in 1962 (297 2nd St.) lived there on and off until 1986. Haven't been back since. It wasn't a bad place to live. Sad that it is now considered ghetto-like. I'm a physics professor - not the dumbest guy in the world and yes I've seen the world. I'd guess Dante's Pizza is long gone.
@@ceeceetracey9839 On the corner of 3rd St. and Jefferson St. across from the church. Gone but not forgotten. Sure mushrooms out of the can, but plenty of them in a flavorful sauce and good cheese on a rectangular not circular pie. Never got pepperoni or sausage just mushrooms.
Troy lookin real shitty in this vid but a lot of places look lousy around this time of the year. Looks like around late February, early March when its still cold as hell and the last of the snow is starting to melt. I was born and raised in Troy. It was a lot cleaner when I was a kid. Started getting bad in the 1990s with the crack epidemic and dealers coming from all over the state to sell their drugs.
Grew up in Troy in the 50s and yeah, that time of year WAS the shittiest... as opposed to December and January when there was fresh snow and everything was Christmassy and beautiful. Best of all, sometimes the snow was so bad school would close. Yay! The weather was too severe to go to school, yet somehow not so bad that we couldn't go sledding or making forts or have snowball fights.
@@NameRequiredSoHere By the time I was in middle and high school the superintendent would NEVER close school for bad weather. Our parents had to keep us home so we weren't killed on those school buses.
Is Wynantskill ghetto? I remember being at church in Latham and people would look at me with pity in their eyes when I mentioned that I’m from Wynantskill. Sure, you’ve got the occasional stabbing.. but I never really considered it ghetto.
Nah I grew up in wynantskill it's a lot of dope fiends there but it's a nice middle class area in general. But Pauling Ave. Troy Is right up from main Ave. Wynantskill so every once in a while hood stuff pops up in skill but it's mostly posers and wannabes out there.
The funny thing about this video is it starts at 101st STreet which is the beginning of Lansingburgh (basically North Troy). I grew up in Troy. Lansingburgh was one of the best kept, safest and most beautiful parts of Troy when I was young. Now you have people starting off their GHETTO video at the beginning of Lansingburgh. Damn shame. Absentee landlords didnt help this situation any.
Daniel Santiago in this specific spot theres only corner stores and convenient stores. Go down a few blocks and go up hoosick street, there ya go. It’s just the location they chose to film.#BornandraisedinTroy
this video either wasnt filmed 6 months ago or you didnt go down ingalls for a reason because theyre redoing the park and trying to do something at least... i grew up in this exact neighborhood and you filmed a family members workplace so i know the area WELL
You’re kidding right... from 101 to 124th street there’s constantly crime..including that quadruple homicide that happened on 102nd, the girl who was murdered and stuffed into a suitcase down on 114th street, and even the murder that happened across from price chopper in Lansingburgh. All of Troy is ghetto now. Deal with it.
TraeTV Gaming okay, those are just a couple examples. Do you ever check the news? Listen to the police scanners? Do you have family in the Troy Police Department? I do...

Heh, my brother and I got robbed of our Halloween candy on Madison Avenue in Troy way back in 1958. The more things change, the more they remain the same.
I'm from Troy, but my favorite place in Cohoes was the Golden Crust bakery. They had these honey-dipped pineapple bran muffins to die for. An interesting factoid: There was quite a large French Canadian community, large enough to support a bi-lingual parochial school.

Certain people work or go to school during the day.
Certain people are nocturnal.
Not even close to a ghetto.
