Review of Albany, New York


Decent shopping very few jobs and yes it is drear
Star Rating - 4/2/2012
The shopping here is pretty decent both in Albany and the outlying suburbs. Yes, it is cheaper here than a lot of places but it is a haven for people who have to live off food stamps and unemployment and disability.

The people have a very curt attitude in various parts of the capital region. They smile and say nice things or talk to you but behind their words is a **** you attitude.

Too many people smoke here. It's like living in the 1970s with a really ignorant attitude.

I regret moving here and we're getting out anywhere soon.
