The world is rapidly changing right before our eyes. Take your local shopping center as an example. There is a shopping center, not unlike hundreds of others in New York, that has changed quite a bit in the last 15 years and I'll bet you didn't even notice.

Let's take a look back at the last 15 years and compare "then and now" of Mohawk Commons in Niskayuna. Which, not that long ago, was home to Blockbuster, Branes & Noble, Bed, Bath & Beyond and more.
