Just when it seems that big retailers are leaving the Capital Region, a popular retailer will add its fourth location. Burlington will be replacing an empty Buy Buy Baby location soon.
Latham Circle Mall was declared a "dead mall" in the early 2000s and was demoed in April 2013. But to this day, many Upstate New York residents still hold it near and dear to their hearts.

If you have not noticed yet, the Latham Circle Mall is long gone, demolished and swept away, as if it never was. The new building that is unmistakably a Walmart now takes it place.

But that also means a lot of traffic restrictions and detours as well with several major road projects being completed.
