Downtown Albany, NY

Maps - Photos - Videos

Downtown Albany is the Central Business District in the City of Albany. Or as the Downtown Albany Bid describes it …

“Exciting Entertainment. World-Class Dining. Exquisite Art and Culture. Urban Residential. Whether you work or live in New York’s Capital District or are lucky enough to make a visit, downtown Albany offers the unique opportunity to explore a city rich in history, framed by nearby mountains and over 400 years in architecture.”

There are a lot of jobs downtown, and decent public transit. You have to go there on the weekdays to make a buck or two.

‘I see no way out’: Living paycheck to paycheck is disturbingly common – Times Union

I think a lot of the problem is those big color televisions that people have with the nauseating pictures that tell people 24-7 to buy, buy, buy. Plus how so much of our youth are indoctrinated by slimmy college loan officers that push debt as an acceptable thing to utilize from the youngest of adult years.
