Honestly when we lived down there in 2014 we so badly wanted to move back up to Atlanta. But every once in awhile when we go down there to visit family, we miss it. More Lee county than Albany but still. We definitely missed the rent!

Thanks for sharing your experience!

were places in Albany that if you lived there you were banned from donating blood because of the rate of hepatitis and AIDS was so high. I lived there in mid 2000s and everything east of slappy blvd ran on food stamps and crack. Everyone ate at various churches and the Mission and homeless shelters and Salvation Army and sold thier SSI Check and food stamps for crack. I heard from a female prostitute who was my neighbor that now it's also methamphetamine and all the males are gay now. ALL the males I knew then at least-- and a lot of people I knew were murdered. Wonderful place

Love it! Can’t wait to cover The Flint!

Awesome!

I live in Albany Ga

I stay in Allbenny not Albany lol you gotta stay it with 2Ls💪🏿👍🏿

How else are you supposed to pronounce it? (And yes, I'm from there lol)

I am from Albany...this is correct.

It's because of the country slang the native residents speak. I lived there back in the sixties and seventies, and that's just how they talk there.

Sydney Mckinney my parents grew up here and they moved up to metro Atlanta but my grandparents live down there and i don’t know how y’all find fun stuff to do there and there is like nothing to down down there and if y’all do want to do something fun you have to drive 2 or 3 hours just to get to Atlanta depending on traffic but there is like nothing but you do have the Albany mall but that is small so i give u respect to live down there

Awesome! Welcome to our channel!

I'm gonna be moving there soon. What's the city liek?

Honestly jobs are hard to find but possible, we recommend going to a company named manpower for work if you don’t have a job already. Like any city there are it’s good areas and it’s bad areas but the good outweighs the bad. There are plenty of great locally owned restaurants and a mall for shopping. Albany is a good city don’t let no one tell you otherwise!

@@EatExploreMore any good neighborhoods you can recall? I've been looking at houses but don't really know the good parts. Hear there are a lot of burglaries in albany

We highly recommend you look into Lee county which is outside of Albany. That is a nice area and you’re only about 10 minutes from Albany.

mary Sanford idk how you live there with almost nothing to do and u have gnats everywhere you go

Me too

Favorite things to do, visit, and eat at?

@@cryptozoomauler5505 jimmies hot dogs I highly recommend

Yes!

graham smith so true

Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks!

That's awesome! The Marine corps base is down there. What was once the runway (I assume) is now an area full of solar panels.

the navel air station closed a long time ago it was during the construction of Dougherty high and Monroe high which kicked off the city wide rivalry still going strong today

@@andrewwatkins4852 Hey, thanks for the info. I can just imagine how much Albany has changed over the years. I've often thought how great it would be to see it again. 🌞

@@rhondadickerson7484 I know right everything happen alot with the flood of 94 and the ef3 tornado of 2017 but recovery is still going strong

@@andrewwatkins4852 I remember when the Flint river would flood every Spring. It was hard on some of the people who lived near the shore. Some people's homes were built on stilts.

Are Coors beer made there too?

@@EatExploreMore I can confirm yes coors beer is made there

Cool. We went to the Coors brewery in Colorado and if it is like that one then I’m sure anyone who takes a tour will be in for a treat.

Thanks! We will have to check it out!

We hate those gnats 😂😂

Eat Explore & More here is a link to a video Atlanta eats did on it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8eUlKp00LmlknU.html

I ate there yesterday

@@lewiskemp5893 there is good sports teams in Albany recommend I would go to Albany state university basketball home game that gym is jumping

me too

Thank you!

When we lived in Albany we were fine. I would find a place in West Albany though. That area is better

@@EatExploreMore Okay, well thank you and god bless.

You’re welcome!

Is it super conservative? Or is there more acceptance of diversity now? That's my greatest concern. Where do you live now if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking for a new home place but I really don't want to live in an area that's plagued with blatant racism. Has it changed?

Melissa We haven’t experienced racism when we lived in Albany.

March 2018

Eat Explore & More surprised it was so overcast. Looked like a grey Oregon day. :/

Yeah it was a rainy weekend. But a few weeks later at the Native American festival it was bright and sunny 😎 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMipm8Vezc_GdWQ.html
