The Freedom Business Center is located on Route 55, on the westbound side. Parking is available in…read morethe front and back of the building. There are a number of businesses, considering how big it is, that have two levels. Stairways are provided, two at each end and one in the middle. In that spot, a small hallway connects to/from the front and back. The parking lot is easy to navigate, with plenty of room to pass. There are three entrances/exits to the plaza on 55 and Dr. Fink Road. They do a great job of maintaining the building and also the lot.

The Mid Hudson Plaza is one of those places, where it's going to get chaotic. The main reason is…read morethe location, where it sits directly across from Marist College, drawing traffic to the popular dining stops when college is in section. In that case, be careful of students and staff who are constantly walking in the parking lot. Traffic for the most part while driving isn't too bad, despite the layout being a challenge when getting on the plaza roadway, when it's busy. In the main parking lot, there is plenty of room and space to move around, which I've had no trouble at all. The only time I've seen it fairly full is during the weekends and holidays. For the most part, I'm impressed to see everything move smoothly. With its services offered here, take caution of your surroundings.

The Haviland Shopping Center has gone through many changes over the decades, but it still manages…read moreto find businesses that appeal. Right now, its best options are food and drink, as it includes Hung Far Chinese food, and the extra-special Lady K's Southern Comfort. You've also got an inexpensive car wash at the north end, and the 9G grill (not attached, but next door) to the immediate south. There's plenty of parking, and during rush hours, don't forget about the "secret batcave exit" behind the 9G Grill onto Haviland Road, to avoid 9G traffic.

Established in 2009, Country Commons Shopping Center has it all. I remember back in the day when it…read morewas being built and was completed. It's fairly significant, offering plenty of parking and room to move around. The parking lot has two rows, one closest to the main building and the other behind (to the right of) it. Many businesses exist, including Pizza Express, Landmark Grill, China Wok, Mid Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union, and among others. This plaza is one of the busiest mainly because it sits at the intersection of Route 55 and 82. There are two exits for 55 and 82.

Located just across from Freedom Business Center, this plaza is on the eastbound side of Route 55…read more Two exits are located at the roundabout and on 55, which can only be accessed eastbound. It's a big building with several stores, such as Salsa Fresca Mexican Grill, Town Center Dental, LaGrange Liberty, and others. The parking lot provides enough space to park and pass by. It's easy to navigate and not too far from the building to walk if parked far away. As always, take caution all around.

Although I still don't come into this mall every day, every so often I do come in. It's still got…read moreits entrances outside, but now it's got a lot more choices I tend to use, so now I do tend to visit maybe once a month (although I've missed the last month and a half). While I've not shopped in any of the little stores between Dollar Tree and Chinese Restaurant (mentioned momentarily), I've visited the Dollar Tree and Stop and Shop locations on occasion, but here and there I stop in at the Chinese restaurant (almost right next to the S&S). The Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union bank location nearby is also addressed to this mall, although it is unattached and easiest to get to via Kessler Dr just to this malls' north, across from Farm Ln across US-9/Albany Post Rd.) However, although I've been to the drive-up, it's not an everyday occurrence that I use it now. Careful of the Dunkin Donuts and small strip mall, it's addressed to this mall in spots, but it has not the same branding as it was redone not too very long ago, and I've stepped in there more often than most of the others. I rarely see anyone who tends to manage this mall, but the parking lot isn't problematic often. People come and people go over time, and there's little in terms of trash in the parking lot, but what about all the stop&shop and confusing lanes within the parking lot there that makes many (including myself and my brother) turn in circles trying to find the quickest ways out from a given point while avoiding the median. With the traffic light at the corner now, and the traffic flow from the former Shop & Save/Hannaford/ShopRite non-existent across the street, and the cross-traffic from St Andrew Rd and even the tiny mall and Dunkin Donuts in what seems like another area of the parking lot, things seem to flow really well now...Just hope that pattern isn't going to change as soon as this review is seen.

South Road Square is one of those busy plazas, mainly because it's close to the Poughkeepsie…read moreGalleria and The Shoppes at South Hills (South Hills Mall). The entrance/exit is located on Route 9 SB, and at the stoplight just south. Turn in the driveway while exiting to the right. The parking lot is small, allowing enough space to move around. Take caution of your surroundings. Many businesses have come and gone, including Bugaboo Creek Steak House (my favorite back in the day) and a CD store, Strawberries, that was there for a long time. Oh, the memories shall be cherished. On the bright side, this plaza is filled with many stores, some of which have been there for a long time.

Ever since 2009, the name has changed to The Shoppes at South Hills and some of the stores you'll…read morefind are from the South Hills Mall. The most recent closures have been Kmart, Burlington, and Silver Cinemas (which all had a long run for many years) along with smaller space stores at the new strip mall. There have been some opening of stores in series, but I do know for a fact that some spaces haven't even opened up yet since The Shoppes at South Hills existed. The costs are probably really high, making it challenging for these businesses to open. I believe the location off Route 9 doesn't have the best visibility since it's up on a hill to make it a success. There are not that many stores to offer, but with enough open now, it can still be the potential to last for many years, just in a slow process. The opening of At Home Furniture Decor is set to open soon in the former Kmart space.
