What do you think about our great city not even making the top ten? I can't stand it! I'm so competitive that I want Albany to be number 1!
But, based on the criteria, oh, you know, like crime and education system, and taxes and stuff.... I can see why we didn't do so well!
But, I don't want to be negative! What do you think makes Albany great? Let me know in the comment section below!
