I love Albany. I moved there from Atlanta for a job. I fell in love with Albany. Shoutout to the East Side. Jazmin Bakery is a fantastic restaurant. Had good times at Osteria while it was open. Temp Coffee and Cornerstone Coffee were havens. Marsh Landing is an awesome residential community right there on the water. The Moose Lodge always had something going on. The country club in Albany is really nice. The Hilton Garden Inn in front of the Ray Charles plaza is the top choice for a hotel in the city. You could get really nice clothes and shoes from Iveys. The new Italian place Biancas is a great new addition. They also have the club and the late night food spot right next to it. The downtown area Pine Ave is really pictureesque. Parts of Albany are breathtaking. Parts of Radium Springs are beautiful. This is a city for those who enjoy a slower place of living, love being in nature. The university in the city Albany State University is a great HBCU with students from all over the country. The YMCA in Albany is also super solid. Shout out to Wingbox and Seafood Co on Ledo, amazing food. The nail salon there Enchanted Nails is also fantastic. They just put a new Aldi's up in the city too. Shout out to the Publix in Leesberg, GA and the Chick Fil A there. They have a pristine AMC Classic theatre and they even have a airport in the city to fly to anywhere. I even got a chance to see some really dope shows at the J Lane Theater. I also saw Lil Durk ( a major rapper ) perform there in July 2021. Ginuwine the R&B legend was just there. The Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany also brings a lot of folks in and is a terrific place to work!

Some of my family lives in Albany, GA. It's a challenging place to live. At 19, eager to be independent, I left my mom's house and stayed with my aunt there for a few months. However, after just two months, I struggled to secure a decent job, it wasn’t much to do, so I returned to Florida.

Nice video my man but how come you only showed the east and central part of Albany? I noticed you stayed at the hotel by the mall but didn't shoot and video on that side of town which is very nice and EXTREMELY booming with business and life

One thing that fascinates me about Albany is in the last year the only thing they have built is a car wash place on every street corner. They've also put speeding cameras in every school zone. It's like all they care about is the kind of car you drive.

I love your videos. You stay safe on the roads and thank you for your content

Albany GA don't look like it's a bad place to live but like they say Don't judge a book by it's cover, Also I have seen much worse as a matter of fact I think Albany is beautiful ❤

My grandma moved from here to South philly back in 1928 so I had to check this out

Omg. I was stationed at the Marine Corps Logistics Base there about 31 yrs ago. Albany was a lot nicer then. Thank you for this video.

Thanks for sharing your video. Albany has a lot of Abandoned buildings. Awesome riding.😀

Thank you so much for this!! I recently moved to Michigan from Albany and was getting kinda homesick. Your video helped 😊

Nothing but Great Content!! Love it!! ❤

Shackleford was a bowling center in the 60's and '70s. Dad worked there for a while. Many of the abandoned houses downtown are owned by Phoebe Putney. They bought up beautiful, older homes and let them rot. Albany is a sad shell of what it used to be.

iam born and live in the netherlands but always as a kid,always love georgia..love your video..thanks!

Such creative videos you’ve on this channel. Just subscribed!

I grew up there in the 60s and early 70s, I loved it there! Was born and raised there! Left in 74 after my mom passed and moved to Maryland, always thought of my home state and have some great memories! Also have been looking for ppl I grew up with! It was safe to play late outside, I grew up on 223 first avenue! Always wondered what happened to all the old places like the Hasty house restaurant,the corner store, church on the corner of Jackson avenue and my old school mamie Bronson, course probably spelled it wrong LoL! Do remember the funeral home and what use to be a old haunted house next to the corner store! Lots of stuff! Especially radium springs! Use to go swimming there when I was little,it was great and good beach music like the Archies! Etc my brother would take me,speedy was his nickname LoL! Anyway I hope to see more pictures and stories! 😊

Thanks! I grew up here :)(: nice trip down memory lane

Thanks for the vid! There’s a comedy show I really want to go to in Albany. Great insight on what to expect!😊

Worked at MCLB Albany for 13 years. Us locals call it Agony Ga😂😂

Keep hope alive for Albany!

I have family there born and raised, my mom is one i absolutely LOVE Albany!❤ Georgia makes me happy! 😊

MY CITY... ALBANY GEORGIA

I grew up nearby in Dawson. Albany has a lot of beautiful neighborhoods, like on the Westside! There are also nice communities on the Eastside that were overlooked. The video presented the worst the town has to offer. It has great businesses and people! However the one about Dawson was more accurate. I saw things I didn't know like properly left behind in abandoned stores. I moved to Atlanta In the nineties. Dawson and Albany were awesome as a kid!

I grew up near Albany in Baker County. I loved the town back then, I have lot's of family and friends that still lives there. I had my first date, first kiss, and first girlfriend in Albany. It will always be home for me regardless what it may or may not look like. I don't get back often because of health issues, but very sad that its in decline. Still, its my home.

Keep it moving bro. I’ma Phoebe baby. Nothing is left there!!!

I have a question for the people from Albany...What would it take to make this a better place? It looks like it has so much potential to be a decent spot.

Albany, Ga is beautiful l left 38 years ago and ove to Florida am back and was shock

Albany resident for 36 years. Albanys biggest problem right now is poverty and crime which leads to alot of homelessness and drugs in the city. Also doesn't have many jobs to offer. Unless you work at p and g or the hospital most of the jobs here are low paying jobs. Albany does have a good college school with many different degrees and does have some good food and alot of history here, but other than that it's not much to do here in Albany.

I grew up there as well was a great place for my father and brother still lives there. I go home often that will always be home Go trojans

WOW this place looks horrible. It's a bunch of rundown homes. A lot of the property owners in that city don't care about their property.

My mom and I moved to Albany from West Palm Beach, Florida a few years ago. Though there are bad areas here, there are many good ones that you missed. I do think it has tons of potential and seems to be bouncing back. This city just needs a little help to give it more life. I WILL complain about the utilities here though. I blame Albany utilities for the poverty by itself 😅😂. The town needs to seriously tackle that first.

I currently live in Albany. The woman commenting about the utilities being a problem is correct. We are 100% being over charged in that area. Why does no one ever cross Slappey when making these. Also, my car made an appearance in this video😆Great job btw.

I’m much older than you from NJ I use to go down to Albany for the summer to visit my family as well. Fond memories never felt unsafe. This was during the 80’s

You made a video about Albany 😂. I attended Albany State University for college, but after the tragic incident when the Flint River overflowed and many people lost their lives, I never returned.

My hometown.

Why did you mostly tour the east side, when the north and west are the areas that captivate the city the most? Not a bad video, but this doesn't capture the true personality of Albany, Ga! I'm a teacher here in Albany, by the way.

I love to travel to Albany, it is a very, very beautiful place for real. Yes in every city there are abandon houses, but just looking at abandoned houses doesn't make the whole city looks or be poor. The city reminds me of beautiful Atlanta 😍.

The lose of military base and train tracks has a lot to do with its decline the geography plays into it also. Demographics have changed alot over the years also. I’m not sure Radium springs helps. I here the population is about to drop to 60000 which puts it back to pre 98 in population. It’s decline has affected others near by towns and cities.

Casino in Sylvester when I was a freshman

I have Cousins in Albany, Ga

you should have turned right after the big white water tower. You would have seen a lot of decay..

Some parts don't look to bad. It's says that they are named after Albany , New York. I did see cheap properties for sale and they do have a college.

That's why the crime rate bad

Lack of jobs, and the low pay rate

Afternoon this is my hometown don't knock it

I've seen worst places. I lived in Baltimore wheres most of the city looks like trash due to the city and the people not trying to make the city better, so I moved.

When I lived there 1960 all roads were sand .

This isn't a true picture of Albany. There are beautiful parts of Albany, we have The Albany Symphony, an very active community theater that showcases plays for over a half century, THE River Aquarium . Albany also has 2nd largest hospital in the state of Georgia and the downtown has won NATIONAL awards for revatilation. And the average income is $39,500 NOT $20,000+ and yes, I can back that up with verified info.

Ayo we have a Publix why you only drive thru the hood 😂😂Albany got some good spots he only showed east side and south side imma put up a real Albany video

It was a large military town military left town dried up

ALBANY GEORGIA

Hey Sir, you are coming into the city to looking through the window panes of the city, the things you record are mostly old historic houses that have been owned by generational AFRICAN Americans for decades the renovation cost of these historic homes is astronomical most can not afford it. So keep your pity for some other city you can't grow if the people who run the city keep being so cheap and closed-minded. So actually the city deserves better respect than it actually is tourists and agriculture and urban historic African American culture city so poor is for third world underdeveloped countries so upliftment is wanted not further verbal degradation now peace it much respect all love to thank you great podcast channel you have.

God know the truth. U take it down but the raft will be upon you!

i don't agree with this report at all! You came from Ft Lauderdale Fla. Please! you're reading some stats that does not portray Albany, Ga. Its a beautiful place and very productive! We are not declining some are moving from city to county. but you can go into any city and highlight its struggling communities.

All-benny, Jawja 😂😂😂😂 iykyk 😑

Dang cuh you tried your best to make it look bad No ASU campus no Ray Charles memorial No west side No black suburbs Heck next time show Bell Glade or Pehoke It’s a lot of black prosperity in Albany You way off on the population as well And all you had to do was make a right on Oglethorpe You didn’t show Slappy blv No new hotels I mean Dan’s bro fr fr Next time put a positive spin on it next time

I had and have friends who live there. Some of them realize now the reason I called it part of the empty east coast. Geography has more to do with it than than you realize. Not to say there not trying but imagine why no one builds the homes on Mississippi flood eventually the government won’t support the effort anymore I saw that happen when I was a child. And you can’t blame them for it because the people anywhere near start to demand they pull out because rates on everything go up around them except them. Insurance, food, power, medical care ect. The empty east coast is best use is agriculture and jobs and. Business that supports agriculture. Why they don’t grow cotton and have textile industry baffles everyone that knows this even adding hemp and flax. Textiles would put it to a recovery till a natural disaster strikes and that’s would be often. Then there’s the poverty problem and the current drug crisis that’s driving much of the population out its lost it’s diversity so they can’t show how well they get along with each other. And that has an effect on the city’s out side the empty east coast region that puts even more strain on them. Is Albany going to keep trying to grow at the exspence they put on others. If Albany could roll back to what they were in their hay day they would be better off.

My boy all on the Eastside

You wrong for that LOL! Zombie

These cities are poor because corporations don't go where there is a predominantly black majority and the government isn't any better they don't make them go in those areas and build factories and such with contract from said government. Sad.

You only show the bad side of Albany east side and south side. Not the west side or north west side where there are people with great houses and who are prospering. I have visited Fort Lauderdale and it has poor areas too

Dude literally never left the Eastside 🤦🏿‍♂️

Is albany a safe place to live?

I have family there but visiting is fine for me.. they too ghetto 😞

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

Not too much

This ninja is cap! The median household is $43,724

I can't believe ppl still eating meat 💔🙄🙄

Hola soy María mi esposo y yo estamos pensando en moverlos para Albany somos de California el costo de vida aquí es muy cara y nuestro retiro no los alcanza para vivir pero escucho muchos comentarios negativos y nos da miedo aunque ya compramos una casa vieja para renovarla pero estamos pensando si lo hacemos o no por favor nos pueden ayudar cómo hacerlo a nosotros nos gusta Albany emos estado ahí unas cuantas veces por favor ayúdenos

I totally disagree with what you’re saying. Albany is just like any other small town. There are good places and bad.

The women are hot and the rent is cheap.

I lived here as a kid my father an siblings still reside there but this video is bs Albany has way better areas than what you're projecting I understand u want likes comments an all to get in the algorithms but damn this is insulting to the ppl of the city an poorest city in America is cap (a lie) because my hometown is 30min away an it's 10xs worse surrounding counties have to commute to Albany for work, to go to the mall, to take kids to the zoo, amusement park, bowling, skating etc . Sick of y'all drive-by ninjas riding thru spreading bs instead talking about what needs to be talked about because atp you're part of the problem not the solution homie ...go to Cordele an talk about the city commissioners holding seats with felonies an still catching felonies while in office an misusing funds and misguiding the ppl an how ppl have to live Albany is Dubai compared to surrounding cities and towns ijs

This is really offensive to anyone that lives in Albany Georgia like me for 52 years for all of my life. The city has 55 square miles and you went to the most run down part of the city. Odd that you stayed at a hotel near the mall and didn’t have the GoPro on traveling to the hotel just to have everybody see that the rest of the city is not ghetto and very poor low income. But anyways , that’s the society that we live in nowadays , sadly, that the way you did this is divisive. Yes, Albany, Georgia is very high in crime and I am aware of the variant uneven demographics, so I’m not sure what your purpose was in showing a video that only showed that we are are a low poverty ghetto city, when it’s only very small portions that is like that

I fuckin hate Albany ain’t shit to do here but leave

I live in Albany Georgia for 2 years back in the very early 80's. I was at Turner Job Corps Center next to a big Miller Beer Brewery Company, Albany even had a LYKES MEAT COMPANY that made sausages and hot dog products. I skimmed in the Flint River in the back of the Job Corps. There was a golf course behind the Job Corps center and I used to take different girls back there and get my freak on🥵🥒...😂😂😂😂. I'll never forget it, I had some really good times while I was there...🧔🏿👍🏿
