I live in the general area,and have for most of my life.
ALbany is the Capital on NY State, Schenectady is about 20 miles west,the area is called
"The Capital Region" Albany- Sch'dy -Troy,I lived in west TX for 2 years,and had the choice to stay there
or move back to this area,and am glad to be here,except for the few times per year that its colder than -10f.
Life is what you make of it,"No matter where you go,there You are"
If you are basically a person the looks at the bright side of stuff,you would be happy in this area.
If you are the type of person that is easily depressed because,
A,Today it rained,
B, Today it was windy,
C,Yesterday it rained,
Etc, etc, stay where you are.
If however you like to see green grass,green trees,lakes,rivers,streams,mountains,
as well as having places to go see,movies,concerts,plays,dine out,look at historical sites,etc.
Then you would prob love it in this area.
If i want to go fresh water fishing,i have dozens of choices in a 30 min. drive from my home,and
a few that are walking distance.
If i want to go grocery shopping,i have several choices in large size stores in the area.
If you like horse racing,Saratoga is close by,with harness racing year round,and Thouroghbred racing in August there. Its about a 40 min drive.

Small town, not really, its more a smaller version of albany, anyway that being said I live about 10 miles "down the road" in amsterdam. It's about 15 miles from albany and around 180 from NYC (Amsterdam is exit 27 @ mile marker 174, Schenectady is exit 26 & 25 around mile marker 161? & 145? (not sure on those

I am joking but also kinda serious. I have a feeling that even though it's a nice place and has pretty scenery, that I'm going to become depressed and stick my head in the oven.
So how much work is it getting into NYC? Is it so bad that I'm never going to do it? I need to party in the big city or I'll perish! Thanks
