“Temple of the mundane, a strip mall sprawled beneath the ether's watchful gaze, the asphalt garden hedged by bushes of burning neon, where souls come to wander-The pilgrim garbed in the plain cloth of the everyman steps upon hallowed pavement: each store a shrine; each transaction, a ritual. The sacred reveals itself in the abundant profane.Middle aged white women gather in the Talbots to supplicate that they should receive raiments to reflect the riotous joy of living. Chipotle wafts a fragrant offering to the heavens, returning in molecules to the earth's bounty and the hands that shape it into sustenance. Lo, Pottery Barn, where you will find the finest cribs for your begotten and curtains to let in the light, made in the image of the artistry that shapes the mundane into the magnificent.In the fluorescence, under the hum of prophecies, the pilgrim beholds a revelation: that the divine is not sequestered in the temples, but walks among us in places of commerce and communion, whispering in the rustle of plastic bags, in the soft sigh of satisfaction, in the silent prayers of those who seek solace in the aisles of plenty.And as the sun sets, casting long shadows across the parking lot, the strip mall transforms into a mundane mirage fading into sacred darkness. The pilgrim departs, carrying a profound truth, knowing holy ground is everywhere underfoot, that the divine mystery enfolds all of existence in its embrace.”
“One of the most important places for me is that it contains everything you want if you are looking for restaurants or fast food, many companies are here if you are here to shop, there are many shops selling clothes, household items, car accessories, etc. There are shops of telecommunications companies and several banks ? and this thing that makes me rest in this place so that it is very safe. Commercial centers like this deserve support because they make the experience of shopping of all kinds much easier ?❤️”

1770 Central Ave, Albany“They had a replacement sparkplug for my snowblower. I had a short wait as the only person working there when I got there was helping someone over the phone, and two more calls came in. Easy parking. Easy access off Rt 5.”
“We went to Walmart and it was enormous. We didn't have time to check out the entire store because we were there for an appointment. We're supposed to go back next week and have more time.”
“I only stopped in at the Price chopper grocery store here. I've gone to this grocery store many times. It's nearby many places that I do business with. Nice place, the workers are courteous and friendly.”

“Not that many stores here but there's a Family Dollar Dollar Tree combo store, a laundromat, Chinese food joint, Indian food joint, and a Walgreens pharmacy, and a liquor store. One stop shopping is always a convenient plus!”
“Sadly, this mall feels abandoned and creepy. It would be a good place to shoot scenes for a zombie apocalypse movie. We visited on a Sunday, so even the few stores that did not appear to have gone out of business were closed. We did enjoy browsing and shopping in the few open stores, though.”
