Albany? Syracuse? Buffalo? LOL
Of the three, Albany is the least miserable and it’s still about an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10.
Meanwhile, a city where things are really happening and things are really not miserable like Greenville SC doesn’t make the list.
I’ve been transplanted to near Albany for 7 of the last 11 years, did a stint of nearly 4 years in Syracuse and traveled to Buffalo regularly for business...I totally agree with your assessment, Albany is the least miserable, Syracuse only slightly more miserable and Buffalo is downright depressing, there’s a whole fog of depression around that area...that can’t be written by anyone familiar with upstate NY as there are 50+ cities better than any of those three...
what’s next for the happy spot, Utica? Rome?
