Albany, New York

Albany-Metro is deff not a hick-ish farmland. Filled with gangsters who might shoot you and snobby rich kids who drive around sick cars, vacation at the hamptons or luxury ski resorts, and count their cash. Surrounded by suburbs where everyone drinks, smokes, and parties because there is nothing else to do. Everyone and their brother is Italian. Alotttt of college kids: UAlbany, Union, RPI, etc.
Pretty sweet location with the city like 2 hours away, new england across the hudson, and montreal just up north.
So yeah, check out the 518.

Albany, New York is maddd sweet.

Albany, New York

Capital of New York. It lies on the west banks of the Husdon River, south of its junction with the Mohawk River. The city's population stood at 95,000 in 2000, down from a peak of 134,000 in 1950. It's an insanely diverse city, at about 60% white, 30% black, 6% hispanic, 3% asian, and 1% other. It's primarily middle class, with awesome middle class communities and real estate. There are also black communities with older rowhomes, apartments, and project complexes. Blacks concentrate along Clinton Av, N and S Pearl Sts. The rest of the city's much more diverse.

Albany, New York is at the crossroads of highways to NYC, Boston, Montreal, and Buffalo. It's closest to NYC, and that's where most of its out-of-towners come from. Many blacks leave NYC for Albany in search of a new beginning. Great schools, plentiful apartment options, Government, white collar, and retail jobs, and a strong housing authority make this all possible. There's also a good local bus system (CDTA) which evolved from 30's era streetcars.

Albany being the CAP CITY we rock it like no other, a safe place for people to go out and have a good time with good people. It's an awesome college area, with in 20-30miles of Albany there are about 15 or more colleges, people have things to lose and aren't punks and pullin guns out on people, don't get me wrong ever town has that area you shouldn't be at, and if you know that area stay clear (some parts of Clinton ave, Arbor Hill..just to name a few)
