Streets Closed, No Parking! Where is HBO Filming this Week in Albany?

If you live, work, or travel through downtown Albany and its surrounding areas, get ready for a little more Gilded Age gridlock!

Producers of the hit HBO series "The Gilded Age Season 2" have spent the better part of August filming scenes for its upcoming season throughout historic neighborhoods in Albany, and they'll be back again this week.

In neighborhoods near Albany's Washington Park, most residents have enjoyed HBO's month-long stay, and as someone who lives down by where they've been filming, it's been really cool seeing my neighborhood transform back to the late 1800s - the time that many of these old, beautiful buildings were built.

But like anything, you have to take the good, with the not-so-great, and anytime a major production company comes into town, they take over, and trust me when I tell you, it can be a bit of a hassle!

On Monday, the Albany Police Department sent out a Nixle report detailing the areas in Albany soon-to-be littered with road closures, no parking, and various other restrictions including The Ten Broeck district, an old and historic area in Albany's Arbor Hill, just a few blocks up from the Palace Theatre.
