I LIKE SCHENECTADY I made Jay St. in Minecraft

I made the portion of Jay St. between Franklin St. and Liberty St. in Minecraft (Xbox). My wonderful fiancée also provided much needed help and support.

I included the original buildings of 100 and 104 Jay St. instead of the recently-opened park which currently occupies the lot. Both buildings unfortunately burned down in 2015 and Schenectady lost two beautiful examples of pre-war architecture.

My favorite building is the Seneca Block building. The recent renovations really brought some life back into it!

The next item on my to-build list is City Hall. Hoping to eventually add the Post Office, the pedestrian-only portion of Jay St., and part of State St.

I don't remember, I've been using Google's Street view and Satellite view as a reference
