All of life in fresno has moved to river park. A thriving area of stores .. regal movie theatre's .. etc. now! We have a metal sculpture.. a Gogan. Worth sixty million. Out there in the street corner downtown. Fresno is racists. But they dont make you suffer because of it. Its a safe city to live in.
i think you missed the hole point of the video then. It is by no means a pro-trump video, rather the creator probably just used one of the most prominent people in the US (not that him being prominent is good, but he just is) speaking to the nation about the rust belt, showing the societal perception of the area.
The natives had primitive weapons. It was only a matter of time they would have been conquered by someone else. You cannot protect your land with bows and arrows when your enemy has guns and cannons.
Thanks for this video. I lived in Troy for 5 years while at RPI. Troy certainly has its problems, but it truly is a beautiful city that I'll always love.
I'm a Central New York native (born, raised and left for the warm southern weather 45 years ago). I call it Zero-cuse...because there's pretty much nothing going on there. Exceptions: Fish Cove in Westvale and Harrison Bakery.
What you neglected to mention in this video is that the railroad that connected Schenectady to Albany was surveyed by none other than James Alexander McDougall.
I accidentally became friends with Arastus Corning when I was living in Albany in college. I lived in a building that had a news stand in the bottom floor and we saw each other each morning because we were both there at the same time. My foster brother, who I still consider my brother, was on the front page of the newspaper and he asked if he was my brother because we look a lot alike. He and his friend had gotten lost in a cave for two days and that’s why he was in the newspaper. From there we became friends which caught my neighbors attention. Thing was that I had no clue that he was the mayor lol
People don't want to live in Albany for fear of there lives, shooting,murders used to happen on the weekends now its everyday, clean up the CRIME First, face the goddamn facts!
One more thing; society gradually stopped punishing crime in the 60's and closed insane asylums around the same time. Narcotics, politicians and crusaders are finishing off cities at a pretty good clip.
I live near Baltimore, and I left briefly to live in the Midwest. KC at the time had parking lots that melted in summer heat and polar periods in winter- both in Indianapolis and KC. Baltimore can get hot and sticky and unpleasantly cold, but nothing like the Midwest.
Didn’t expect a lot from this video but I was surprised. It’s good to learn about upstate from someone who lives in the state’s center of civilization.
First Federal Plaza is awesome! I really REALLY wish they’d rotate that thing again. It’s just too cool. This city to this day does so much that you wouldn’t really think about. We make parts for Boeing and ship them to Washington. We make X-Ray machines that are sent all over the world. Super cool stuff comes out of this city.
I read that Troy has very high crime rates. I am looking to move upstate and I think it is nice. Does anyone know if it actually does have concerning safety issues?
Troy has certainly seen better days,back in my era 60-90’s it was a good time to live in Troy. I still have fond memories of my life in the City back then…Sadly that was then and this is now,certainly a lot has changed over the years.Sadly many of those changes are unrecognizable..but I still have my memories!!
Great video and it echoed my sentiments exactly. The midwest is underrated but on the rise. We are considering relocating from our smallish city in 5 years or less to a larger city in the Midwest where there are things to do, 4 seasons, and great architecture.
