That being said the chair closest to the box office movie theater I think is the most comfortable. My only complaint is I wish the website had more up-to-date information of where the new businesses are going in. I know they're going to be getting new businesses but I don't know where they're going. I think their map is up to date for what is in the mall. I'm not around here on Sundays to go to the flea market but I do know they have a flea market the pictures look like it is an interesting time. FYI on massage chair don't use it more than 5 to 15 minutes unless you want your back to be bruised by the very very strong rollers.

Around 1:30 pm I was really lightheaded and need to eat something, I'm diabetic. I went to MochaLisa's and ordered a bagel with cream cheese. You would think this was a quick order. There were 4 or 5 people working the counter and I was the only person waiting for take-out. After about 15 minutes I finally asked what was taking so long. They said, oh there are other orders. Really? for takeout? Then they said their toaster was on the 'low' setting. I should have just asked for a refund and gotten a slice of pizza. Will never be going to this place again!

Also, with some good snack options. I am a creature of habit and always stop in at Starbucks for my drink inside of the Barnes and Nobles bookstore.

I also love my athletic wear so I always go to Athleta as well as home shops Pottery Barn and Sur La Table. There are just so many fantastic shops and eateries all located within one area with a great big parking lot. What more could I ask for?

I even worked in this shopping strip for a few years while attending college. There are decent amount of shops and businesses. Target, Marshall's, market 32 (formerly price chopper), bed bath and beyond, Lowe's, Old Navy, Ulta beauty (prior Barnes & Nobles), Panera Bread, Taco Bell, etc. you got a good amount of shops, fast food restaurants to grab quick bites after errands. I've seen the Mohawks commons strip developed since 2007, there are so many shops closed down, new shops opened. It's a very safe shopping strip in Niskayuna/ Schenectady. I haven't seen any dangerous activities around here and always had wonderful experiences running errands at Mohawk commons.

Dreary modern strip mall that I patronize all the time because that's what we do in modern life. Go…read morewhere the stuff is. The site was formerly an indoor Mall, also called Mohawk Mall, and before that the Stanford Heights golf course, and before that part of the historic Duncan-Schuyler-Stanford farm (the old Stanford mansion was gutted and moved when 'Mansion Square' across the street was added to this mess). It's also the site of one of the northernmost original fingers of the pine bush. So the atrocities that have been heaped upon this site have been many and over a long, long period. Traffic control here is a little weird and they're always late on fixing potholes after the winter, so be extra cautious coming in from the main entrance. Better yet is to sneak in via the back entrance off Consaul, opposite the (relocated) Ingersoll home, with the soon to be closed Oswald Heck center on your right as you come in, facing the back of Bed Bath and Beyond. In any event, here's what's here now: to your left as you come in from Balltown (see my individual reviews for almost everything here, sadly): Visionworks and Five Guys, Price Chopper and Marshall's, Bed Bath and Beyond, a shoe store, Target, and a Taco Bell; in front, Party City, Ruby Tuesday's, and Lowe's; to your right, a video game store, Panera, a Chinese takout place, three cell phone stores, SuperCuts, Eastern Mountain Sports, PetSmart, Old Navy, and newly replacing Barnes and Noble, a Gap and some store catering to young people I've never heard of before (Styla? something like that). It's your usual mix of anchor (grocery, discount department, and home improvement) stores, a few services, fast- to fast-casual restaurants, and other suppliers of the stuff of daily ephemeral needs. For this, we sacrificed our natural history, the cultural history of three countries, open space, and a nice indoor mall where at least you didn't freeze once you got in. Progress, I tells ya, Progress.

Getting into the mall parking lot isn't so bad, but sometimes the wait to exit onto Central Avenue can seem like it takes forever, so I'm more likely to take the "batcave" exit around the back of the mall and onto Fuller Rd.

It's a modern strip mall with Target anchoring it, a few outbuildings (Party City, Petco, Staples),…read moreand some decent specialty stores (Joann, Empire Wine), but it's got the most godawfully bad parking and traffic flow design exacerbated by the left turn to the Northway and 5/Central North and the Wolf Road commercial conglomeration. This more or less negates the convenience of having it at the intersection of these two major roads, and I predict the Northway will fare badly as the buildings age. In the meantime, I don't recommend it unless you're going early in the day but after rush hour, or are heading to one of the specialty stores as a destination, because you'll be wasting a ton of time just getting in and out, as well as car karma.

But it's not like there's a line on the floor that says "Now Entering HomeGoods" or anything like that. I'm more likely to be shopping in this part of the store anyway. Their supply of home items is reasonable. But this is now one of the older HomeGoods in the area, and its age is showing a little bit. The inventory in some of the newer stores is a bit flashier, but you can still find some great deals here. I've gotten spoiled by the monitors at the checkout area which immediately direct you to the next available cashier. Here you still have to pay attention to the people behind the counter, who still get your attention the old fashioned way, i.e., raising their hand and speaking.

The insides are pretty cluttered - - it is physically hard to get around -- and the organization is pretty random. Also, they smoke inside and the place reeks. That said, if you're on the dumpster-diver end of the used treasure hunt, let me tell you there is treasure to be found here. There's so much random stuff I defy you to fail to find something at least interesting. Furnishings on the low end tend to come and go fairly quickly, but you can bargain on anything in this store (the owners are friendly, just hang in there as they tend to split their attention nine ways), and the price should end up being right for you. The "collectibles" are mostly not so much, but in the mix and match category, there's lots of pieces for projects here and it veers into the picker territory (old advertising signs, inscrutable antique objects, etc.) so it's worth at least a familiarization stop or if you're a serious junktique hunter. Go in daylight, though.
