I work in downtown Albany and walk past these buildings and the park every day, and appreciate them even more after watching your video. Very well done!
Very nice job, I have lived in the area for 3 years and it has everything you would want. Close to great cities like Montreal, NYC, Boston, and lakes and mountains north and south from you. I lived in North Carolina for 15 years and the only thing they have over this area is warm weather, I don't miss North Carolina or the South one bit!
I moved to Raleigh in 2006 from Albany and might be moving back this summer because housing is too unaffordable now for a single person now. It makes me feel better seeing this comment thank you
@@2SassyChihuahuas I know a lot of people that moved to Raleigh, like it for the weather, but I also know a lot of people that left, who said it was not for them. Personally, every place has it's pros and cons. Good luck to you!
@@ronaldcarlson8572 I get it, I would describe it as really great for families so as much for single people. Was really boring first several years I lived here but it’s really come a long way. I didn’t like at first but I love it now. I live in Cary just outside of Raleigh. A lot of New Yorkers in this town too. They call it Containment Area for Relocated Yankees🤣 It will nice to come back and be with family snd friends and not have to use my vacation time every year to visit. Can take real vacations now. Thank you!
Definitely enjoyed this video. I’ve lived in Albany almost 50 years now. These are more tourist spots. You have to see areas like Pearl street,lark street and central Ave. Albany is super diverse and has many different neighborhoods. Great video though.
Wow! Thanks for the amazing video! Great filming and I love the history you included. I will need to watch more of your videos for ideas on my next road trips. Excellent content, you're incredible!
If you're looking for suggestions I've seen you biking in some videos. The best day trip bike trail I've been on was the Pine Creek rail trail near Wellsboro PA. Also, Lewisburg PA is a very cute college town, especially in the spring.
This video taught me so much about my home town! I don't recall the museum documenting New York's slave trade, am I correct with this? It's such an important part of the north's industrial and general history so I'm surprised. Can we also talk about how NOT boring this city is? Folks in my family used to call it Smallbany but clearly we just weren't going out much.
When I would visit as a kid I use to say the same thing. But as an adult I've explored the area pretty in-depth and its not small at all. Its one of my favorite capitals across the country. I think there was an area that included NY's slave trade. Its around the Native American history but lighting was very dark for my camera to capture properly. It also included Seneca village history.
Anywhere can be entertaining. It’s all about your mindset and perspective. There’s people that live in cabins in the woods in the middle of nowhere and entertain themselves perfectly fine every day. Albany has everything you could ever need. Just gotta look for it and actually have a sense of adventure
Hi James, 2 days is plenty of time to explore Albany. I am not sure if you are going on a weekend but the Capital Building is only available at selected times throughout the weekday.
So crazy how my black Jamaican dad has owned a house on Hall Place for over 40+ years here just feet away from here plus his in laws on the same stret aren't but have not been shown nor mentioned
Hi Kaitlin, there is public transportation like buses in the city, but I recommend a car for most areas in Upstate New York. A lot of hills. Things also tend to be far
Most of the history that mattered was torn down when they built the plaza along with thousands of family’s displaced..my home and I’m disgusted in my findings
Great job. Loved this video. You deserve a lot more views!!
Thank you. I love making these videos and hopefully down the road it gains more traction.
Much agree 😀👍
Hello. I had been looking for new episodes, but none had been posted. I really like on your show. Please continue. Thank you.
Excellent video! I moved up this way last year and so far this is the best video I've seen of the Albany area.
thank you. I had such a blast filming Albany and it being the Capital of one of the greatest states, I wanted to give as much background as possible.
Wow, this is the BEST video i've seen on Albany Current and Historic.
Thank you Jose
Thank you for the great feedback
Easily the best video of Albany, NY hands down.
Thank you Mauricio
thanks for this video. we are planning a move to Albany
I work in downtown Albany and walk past these buildings and the park every day, and appreciate them even more after watching your video. Very well done!

Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site - well worth a visit - amazing history. I love Albany and the Capital region.

Thank you Gary, I plan on doing another round in Pennsylvania pretty soon and will keep Lewisburg in mind for the spring.
Lewisbury is very nice. And it’s only about an hour an 15 min drive. I second this person’s opinion

We always called it Smallbany because it seems like everyone knows each other 🤷🏻♀️
Eres un genio amigo tengo mucho que aprender de ti

👣👣👣👣🇺🇲 Thank José, Mazel Tov!👣👣👣🏳️🕯️🌏🌍🌎🕯️🏳️🌾🎻👣👣🏬🏛️🏦🌆
I still find myself getting lost in those tunnels lol
The underground is fantastic and such a time saver. Plus, during the summer its the best way to get around.
thanks for making albany seem less boring lol.

Hi from Canada: we are driving down to Albany soon. Is 2 days enough time to visit it?
Hi James, 2 days is plenty of time to explore Albany. I am not sure if you are going on a weekend but the Capital Building is only available at selected times throughout the weekday.
2:47 very Roman Empires like designs.
So crazy how my black Jamaican dad has owned a house on Hall Place for over 40+ years here just feet away from here plus his in laws on the same stret aren't but have not been shown nor mentioned
Do you need a car to live in Albany ny ? Also love that European architecture!
Hi Kaitlin, there is public transportation like buses in the city, but I recommend a car for most areas in Upstate New York. A lot of hills. Things also tend to be far
@@JoseOnTour is this Albany is safe now to live with the family?
😂Theres no placel like home. I ❤independence of celebrative july. B good
Am I the only one who thinks Albany actually belongs to New Jersey
Now that you mention it, I can’t unsee Albany New Jersey 😆
Africans as well they were here with the natives
Native are indigenous of this continent not settlers like colonist Europeans and everyone else who came after them.
