- This is short walk in downtown Schenectady New York. I started from Entrance to Proctor Theater and walked on State street for a block and return to Proctor Interior Arcade and end the walk at the back door of Proctor Theater.
-------------------------
Proctor's Theatre (officially stylized as Proctors since 2007; however, the marquee retains the apostrophe) is a former vaudeville house located in Schenectady, New York, United States. Many famous artists have performed there, notably Mariah Carey (whose 1993 top-rated Thanksgiving special was taped there), Britney Spears, Hal Holbrook, Ted Wiles, and George Burns, as well as many others. It has one of the largest movie screens in the Northeast.
The theatre was opened on December 27, 1926. It was designed by architect Thomas Lamb. Four years later it hosted the first public demonstration of television. In 1979 the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places, shortly before being renovated after a long period of decline and neglect. A renovation completed in 2007 added two theatres to the complex, providing a variety of performance spaces.
The theater building is located on the south side of State Street (NY 5), in a densely developed commercial area. The exterior of the building and its interior arcade are included in the Register listing.
It is a three-story building with attic. The North (front) facade is faced in stucco, with engaged Doric pilasters. Ornamentation includes garlands and paterae on the friezes. A large marquee covers the sidewalk in front.[2]
Inside, the arcade that connects the entrance to the theatre features space for (originally) 14 boutiques, with five copper-framed glass windows. A marble staircase leads to the upstairs offices, and the box office and showcase are paneled in Walnut.[2]
The foyer is carpeted in red, with men's and women's smoking rooms on either side. Two more marble staircases lead to the balcony level. A pastoral mural in sepia decorates the wall. The staircases lead to a balcony promenade with an authentic Louis XV style sofa. Decoration includes Corinthian columns, iron railings and extensive gold leaf detailing.[2]
Corinthian columns also flank the proscenium arch over the stage. Gold leaf detail is all over the domed ceiling and entrance arches, in contrast to the black and silver damask wall coverings. The side loges are trimmed with iron grilles in the arches and heavy velvet drapes. Light is provided by a central black and gold chandelier with 192 lamps, flanked by six smaller fixtures.
_____________
Schenectady (/skəˈnɛktədi/[3][4]) is a city in Schenectady County, New York, United States, of which it is the county seat. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 66,135. The name "Schenectady" is derived from a Mohawk word, skahnéhtati, meaning "beyond the pines".[5][6] Schenectady was founded on the south side of the Mohawk River by Dutch colonists in the 17th century, many from the Albany area. They were prohibited from the fur trade by the Albany monopoly, which kept its control after the English takeover in 1664. Residents of the new village developed farms on strip plots along the river.
Connected to the west via the Mohawk River and Erie Canal, Schenectady developed rapidly in the 19th century as part of the Mohawk Valley trade, manufacturing and transportation corridor. By 1824 more people worked in manufacturing than agriculture or trade, and the city had a cotton mill, processing cotton from the Deep South. Numerous mills in New York had such ties with the South. Through the 19th century, nationally influential companies and industries developed in Schenectady, including General Electric and American Locomotive Company (ALCO), which were powers into the mid-20th century. Schenectady was part of emerging technologies, with GE collaborating in the production of nuclear-powered submarines and, in the 21st century, working on other forms of renewable energy.
Schenectady is in eastern New York, near the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers. It is in the same metropolitan area as the state capital, Albany, which is about 15 miles (24 km) southeast.[7] In December 2014, the state announced that the city was one of three sites selected for development of off-reservation casino gambling, under terms of a 2013 state constitutional amendment. The project would redevelop an ALCO brownfield site in the city along the waterfront, with hotels, housing and a marina in addition to the casino.[
Schenectady has become a much nicer place in recent years. Very happy to call it home.
I'm glad to see some of the positive changes. I grew up in Schenectady (Mont Pleasant) and left over 25 years ago for New England. I remember a prosperous downtown when I was a child followed by two decades of slow decay during late 70's, 80's, 90's. I have family in the area and was pleasantly surprised seeing the transformation of the downtown area. (Hamilton Hill and Crane Street are still as bad as ever though...hopefully better times ahead.)
Nice to see someone came to the little town
Little town?
you live in schenectady?
i stayed there for 6months in 90’s
Thanks for posting this walk through of the downtown area. I used to live in Schenectady 20 years ago while working at the GE plant. The downtown area was bit seedy, especially beyond the theater. Looks like it has undergone a revival and looks upscale now. Considering all the historical events that have happened in that town, it deserves better.
I'm moving to downtown Schenectady and this is so nice! Thanks for doing this!
this isn't downtown Brooklyn like i thought after applying to jobs there and receiving them only to find out this place is above Boston and nowhere near downtown Brooklyn we have a Schenectady in Brooklyn Schenectady Ave Brooklyn NY. thought i was applying for jobs there long story short i got accepted just to find out the job is 4 hours away from my apartment
I use to leave there for more then a year they are the most wonderful people specially the catholic church thank you for helping me and God bless you all 🙏😍

Proctors, a great Schenectady landmark.
Great video, Love it 💝.
It was better than the other video but could be better. How about a guide identifying what building's we are seeing. What industry is left such as how many work for General Electric and what is going on there. Some of GE's history. What else is there. Basically, if I worked for the Schenectady Chamber of Commerce, how would I sell this city to a tourist???

Hello my friend :)
Kris Travels Hi, nice seeing you. Thanks a lot. have wonderful weekend. 🤝😊
You couldn't get me anywhere near Schenectady! One of the worst places in the country to live or visit.
If you don't mind ridiculous housing prices and rampant gangs and drug addiction u wanna live hrre
I love all kinds of drugs I don’t discriminate
Beggers all over do not even attempt to introduce themselves and find a friend just ask for money almost everyday and many ride busses. The place is weird and should be condemned for safety.
Ghost town. Tumbleweeds around the corner.
Puts in mind that old Simon & Garfunkel song,
Nothing but the dead and dieing in m little town.
Left there in 1986 and never saw any reason to return......
The videography is fine....
Not so much skin neck titty.
Thanks for watching. 😀
Grew up there, was nicer In the 70s
Wonderful video !!!
Παναγιώτης Χαρλαβάνης thank you so much my friend. Wishing you have a great weekend.🤝😊
