[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Favorite: Washington, DC. It's why we bought a house here and started a company.

Least Favorite: Troy, NY. Frightening![/quote]

I don't know what you're talking about.  Troy is lovely.

There was an article the other week about Troy being the new Brooklyn.

I've never been to Troy and am not even sure where in NY it is but this photo essay is what I thought of when I read your post.

Troy is right next to Albany (the capital).  I grew up less than an hour away and was always amazed by the people I met from there.  They spoke like they were from downstate and by the time they hit 17 they looked 35.  We had it rough in my hometown but they had it much worse.  Life had worn down so many by the time they were 20 and everyone knew not to enter Troy after dark. It's starting to take a bit of a turn but there needs to be economic growth in order for more progress to be made.  Women also need to be taught that their self worth isn't found in their offering of their bodies and that they have more to offer the world. [/quote]

I lived in Troy for 3.5 years. It was terrifying. It proved that trailer parks don't actually need trailers. Shudder. [/quote]
