North Central Troy. Much better than the Tenderloin District in SF any day of the week. Thanks for the ride.

My birthplace. Glad I moved to NC. Still have fond memories of the old hood though.

Streets I walked on as a boy, from 1965 to 1972. Lived at 572 River St, walked to School 1, Napoli Bakery, St Patrick's church. Still looks the same after 50 years.

Raised In Troy, Stayed in 7th ave sh!ts wild out there frl

I grew up on the first street he drives, 5th Ave between 101st & 102nd, in the 60's and 70's. Was great back then; sorry to see what it's become.

hard to believe that this was probably a great place to live once where people and kids can just enjoy their nieghborhoods and not worry about crime and just go on about your life peacefully

Troy has definitely seen much better days..I grew up in 60-90’s era and I certainly have a lot of fond memories of that city.Time changes everything,still it certainly was a great time living there back then. I can recall all of those places I now see and remember the way that Troy was SAFE and generally the neighborhoods all got along and took pride in their homes.Sadly crime has its foothold on the city it’s really a shame 😢😢

bringin back memories but so glad to have left NYS

That's my old hood lived there in the 80's that was a younger dumber me thugging back then now... I'm just chill you can turn your life to good

These RPI students make there videos in the dead of winter when no ones out side and the streets are covered in road salt,make any place look bad.

I hate that outside of Nyc, there’s no renovations done so the buildings can hold ‘historical value’ I say screw that. I frequent troy to see the waterfall and it’s not even that it’s ghetto there, all the buildings are just eye sores.

So where are the ghettos? Looks like a quiet working-class neighborhood to me.....

How can you drive by Bella Napoli and not stop in for fudge fancies?

You were driving rear my house before you took a left at 102 towards 2nd. Even saw my sisters car parked outside the titanic. Gonna look back on this vid in a few years when I’m out.

Sucks bc all these run down towns were legit money makers in 1900 Troy, Auburn, Geneva, Rochester, Rome, Utica

About the same as in 1989 when I last saw it. Depressed, with a lot of unrealized potential. This is what happens when New York writes all its laws to punish manufacturing and money-making upstate, while favoring finance giants in New York City. Troy was once the Silicon Valley of the first industrial revolution...

At 4:01 you're approaching a little intersection we used to call "the three corner stores" because there was a store on all but one of the corners. Pete's, Roddy and Ursula's. Pete's had ALL the penny candy you could want. Ursula's was a nice sized mini market in its heyday. Roddy's started cooking hot food in the late 80s, they did pretty good. I knew them all because I grew up in that area and went to St. Patrick's which was a few yards from all three stores.

God damned Glen Avenue... We lived on Sixth Ave, Seventh Ave, Park Ave, King PJS, Middleburgh and lets not forget Ingalls... Who know about Mr Lee store on Congress and 4th!!! TROY WASSUP!

yeah and rent in these places plus utilities put you back 1200pm!! for ghetto living!

This is a ghetto? It looks like a slightly to somewhat rundown neighborhood that's becoming a really nice neighborhood. All those brick rowhouses are solid with architecture unique to the city.

Raised in Troy still in Troy gang bangin at school💯💯💯💯💯

Where the part where u show the hood ?

I was in troy and albany and thought it was fancy lol

You say it's a getto it's for sure you haven't seen a getto.where this person is driving around isn't all of Troy and I grew up in this area so I know it well also.syop going in circles and show lansingburg,and other spots that aren't as bad.

Is Wynantskill ghetto? I remember being at church in Latham and people would look at me with pity in their eyes when I mentioned that I’m from Wynantskill. Sure, you’ve got the occasional stabbing.. but I never really considered it ghetto.

And Troy is improving a lot, there are is a lot of Gentrification happening atm and a lot of Crime is being pushed out

That's the hood right there.. 9 block where my boys is from

9th st is more popular than it was a year ago

Troy lookin real shitty in this vid but a lot of places look lousy around this time of the year. Looks like around late February, early March when its still cold as hell and the last of the snow is starting to melt. I was born and raised in Troy. It was a lot cleaner when I was a kid. Started getting bad in the 1990s with the crack epidemic and dealers coming from all over the state to sell their drugs.

I was born in Troy, NY in 1962 (297 2nd St.) lived there on and off until 1986. Haven't been back since. It wasn't a bad place to live. Sad that it is now considered ghetto-like. I'm a physics professor - not the dumbest guy in the world and yes I've seen the world. I'd guess Dante's Pizza is long gone.

I live there

this video either wasnt filmed 6 months ago or you didnt go down ingalls for a reason because theyre redoing the park and trying to do something at least... i grew up in this exact neighborhood and you filmed a family members workplace so i know the area WELL

GHETTO CRIME DRUGS LOW INCOME

Don't open a business the street people will drive you crazy

The funny thing about this video is it starts at 101st STreet which is the beginning of Lansingburgh (basically North Troy). I grew up in Troy. Lansingburgh was one of the best kept, safest and most beautiful parts of Troy when I was young. Now you have people starting off their GHETTO video at the beginning of Lansingburgh. Damn shame. Absentee landlords didnt help this situation any.

Where the hell are the stores???

No wonder houses are so cheap there

@ 1:16 I used to live in the greyish building to the right side no more bar where my brother passed out from drinking too much I do think he was pronounced dead at least once we were kids not even 13 the bar? it closed I see and at 2:07 a younger me nearly got robbed for Halloween candy but this is troy I carried KNIVES had some guy blow his brains out next to that mark @ 2:14 but hey on a good note there was a lady who put cany in easter eggs and hung the,m from a tree yummy 2:49 I see da KINGS can't say how many rumbles I been in that area Pizza joints still there? and @ 4:02 used to be corner stores swim robbed them multiple times which was STUPID they got caught I wasn't there I was home 4:28 is my old jr high school fights there every day I carried a 357 w me never even shot it not 1 time 5:07 I see 5-o used to be another pizza joint now there is a small mountain not too far one day I and a friend were told by 5 other kids that for trespassing on the MT I had to fight one of them first time I heard "you gotta beef" oh there's 8th 9th and 10th streets OH BOY pages to talk about but not here lol it's also where my 1/2 sister was raised she too is a bruiser brawler 9th street is the block that the Hell's Angel's took over then they killed someone also my first time I had to use a straight razor should I write a book .... also had my first 3 some

101st Street and up is not the Ghetto lmao, if there’s any part in Troy that’s ghetto it’s 7th Ave in North Central Troy

You should really know what a ghetto is before you label a place a ghetto.

Do cohoes please

This is not really the hood

Shit still Dead! Smh..

There ain’t nobody outside 😂😂 what type hood is this

Not even close to a ghetto.
