Oh this is beautiful Mike. The colors and the clear blue sky captivated. It looked like such a peaceful drive. The bridge reminded me of the previous video, you don’t really like heights, if I’m not mistaken.
I can’t help noticing what a contrast our countries are. Our railway stations are jam packed while yours barely have a soul 😁. A billion-plus population right.
I also enjoyed the commentary and the political insight. The present mayor wasn’t he elected recently, something like the youngest mayor and those other things…
Anyways, I enjoyed this video. I wish we had great sights on our drives.
And thankyou for the shout out 🤗🤗.-
absolutely Iba it’s my privilege and pleasure! upstate New York is different from the cities and its surrounding areas because the land is so vast and mountainous. this is also why alot of people don’t like to be up there. infrastructure is very hard to build and maintain. and even if there was infrastructure, its sheer distance from either Manhattan or Boston makes it unappealing for many young urbanites. glad you enjoyed the video Iba!

We only see the other side of NY. I prefer this one 😍.

it’s my pleasure and privilege Nancy! the colors sure lend such a nice background doesn’t it?
-
-
It certainly does! 🍁🍁🍁

That was a great trip Mike, good to see some of the country and architecture.
-
glad you enjoyed it Majella. it’s the least I can do for you all that post quality reads daily.

That is so kind Mike. Thankyou

Very cool, it’s a very pretty place. I suppose I don’t understand any ‘danger’ with where the station is, but to me it looked like an interesting building and area.
And I’ve heard your accent before but it surprised me again 😉
oh, politics… yeah, you guys are screwed, jeez. I’d like to shop in a government run supermarket just for the experience. I wonder if you’d have to queue outside in the snow for hours first…
-
thanks Rob! yeah, the place was just….too empty for me. too, away from the main thoroughfares. and plus, New York State is very strange once you get out of the significant population centers.
LOL, I can only imagine the government supermarkets. but yeah, I guess we’re going to see what the elections will yield. if this guy gets elected, New Yorkers are going to get a crash course on shameless kleptocracy-
I can understand the sentiment where people want to do the ‘right thing’ for others, I think we’re all for that, but it’s doing it with common sense and being able to look forward in your head to understand the consequences of actions, especially when the world is full of these stories going wrong. Too many are just not built to do that. haha, my humble opine!
-
I totally agree Rob! 👍🏼💯

This is very helpful, especially for outsiders like me. Autumn is stunning on the East Coast🍁
The narration provided some much appreciated insight. Thank you for sharing☺️-
hello Takami! i hope all is well. i am glad you enjoyed the video!

I just want to say that the autumn colors are fascinating to see. A beautiful ride, Mike. Thanks for sharing your snippets of life.
-
thank you Hazel! I want to make videos like this because bloggers like yourself show me such beautiful photos and videos of your lives. it’s my way of giving back! and you know I love the photos you take of your life! Mike
-
Yes, thanks for giving back, Mike. We enjoyed it. I love watching nature outside of my country, too. I’m delighted to hear you like the photos I shared daily, even though it’s only a single place. 🤭
My pleasure!

I love to take drives and talk! This was a fantastic idea! I wish we all did this. It gives such a different perspective into who we are as authors. I also loved hearing your views on the upcoming Mayoral race. I’m outside of NYC so the vote won’t impact me directly. What it may do to my line of work and neighborhood potentially is another show. Have a great day tomorrow.
-
I’m glad you enjoyed it Karen! isn’t upstate a cozy place….to drive through?? LOL j/k. upstate has its cool areas for sure. do you work alongside the CUNY or SUNY institutions. feels like that or really high up private sector jobs are the only safe bet these days 😭 have a great Wednesday.
-
It IS cozy! I went to undergrad in Albany and miss the drives and atmosphere. I live in Bethpage (by Bethpage Golf Course) and work for the Massapequa School District as the Registrar. I just fear the influx and tapping out our district resources. It could happen.
-
oh wow! I also have videos from my time up there – I bet if I post them you’ll recognize the places instantly. Albany was a pretty chill place. For a time I was looking at real estate in the surrounding Colonie, Slingerlands area.
yes, the maxing out of district resources are going to be a massive problem moving forward. as you know, all cities and towns up I-87 have experienced a massive influx of people and I can only imagine how both Nassau and Suffolk county has changed the last decade and a half. I literally saw the seeds of demographic change in Hewlett and Belle Harbor in just the short time I lived there.
-
I so miss the Albany vibe. I went to College of Saint Rose (now closed) as did my daughter. I enjoyed watching it change throughout the years too! I thought of moving up there after school to stay near my college buddies but home urged me to stay. Not a bad decision but I often wonder where life would have taken me.
