Amsterdam Mall (Amsterdam Riverfront Center) – Raw & Real Retail

|

his is our walkthrough of the former Amsterdam Mall, now called the Amsterdam Riverfront Center in Amsterdam, NY from April 17, 2019. This is a vintage property that is stuck in time. It is a slice of what a local mall from the early 1970s looked like, complete with gaudy orange carpeting, dark tiled floors, big globe lights, vaulted ceilings, and wood-grain touches throughout. This space is not used as a retail mall anymore, rather it has been repurposed into a local business center with a few services and eateries sprinkled throughout.

NY 5S – NY 162 Interchange in Sprakers

|

This moderate-speed interchange was built to address run-away trucks roaring down NY 162, unable to stop before hitting NY 5S, and recognizing that the prominent direction of flow of traffic is towards Fort Plain and Canajoharie from NY 162. Vehicles heading west on NY 5S from NY 162 can simply merge over to the outer lane to continue without stopping.
