Welcome to Your Urban Upstate 4.10.2017

From Binghamton to Buffalo, from Utica to Troy and everything in between, the photographers below are excited to share their city.  Every Monday, The Urban Phoenix will share images from talented “correspondent photographers” across our great state.  These are photogs that not only love their craft, they have a passion for visually representing the beautiful things in our Upstate urban centers.

Think New York City is the only urban paradise in in our state?  Not anymore.  Each week, the photographers below will take you on a tour of our thriving upstate cities, showing you all that is happening in places you might not expect.  Scroll through, enjoy and connect with these talented masters of imagery as they share their urban centers with you.

Utica bread a is popular place, as evident by the floury footprints of Uticans early on a Sunday Morning.

Most people don’t realize Utica has a zoo!  Meet Donovan, the almost 6 year old African Lion King, who was made in Utica, born in Utica, raised in Utica and says you better love Utica too!

On April 9th, 1867 Binghamton was incorporated as a city.  Happy 150th Birthday Binghamton!  City Hall, which anchors Government Plaza, was a product of the period of urban renewal during the 1970s.  The original City Hall still stands and is now The Grand Royale Hotel.

This week Schenectady said goodbye to one of its landmark buildings, the historic Nicholaus Block.  It was a preservation fail, and a huge loss for the city’s cultural streetscape.  Here’s to the Masonic Temple across the street, and hoping it fares better!  Unique architecture is what gives Schenectady its character!
