[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not enjoying the upstate NY responses on this thread.  Both Troy and Albany have some dismal parts (so I understand), but they are also quite vibrant and have beautiful parts (and relatively easy access to nature).  Scenes for The Gilded Age are shot in Troy; Washington Park in Albany is one of my favorite small city parks (with free plays in the summer).  Albany has the economic lift of being the seat of NYS government.  There are a lot of colleges in the capital district as well which makes an area less depressing to me. I am sure someone loves every town in the US.[/quote]

I am from there and I can absolutely say it’s depressing. I couldn’t wait to get out of there when I was ready for college. And I come from generations up there, great family, etc., but it was so grey.[/quote]

Went to school in Troy in the mid-90s. It was rough! Very grey and very cold. Because I was a poor college student, I lived near a drug house. But I had a great group of friends and we actually had a lot of fun.[/quote]
