[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ballston sucks for sure, but it has one thing going for it - location. It's not stuck out in the middle of nowhere between industrial parks. Throw in a few decent shops and restaurants there and it will do well.

+1.  I'm surprised it has taken this long for the upgrade but it sounds like they will be doing it right.  The mall as it is now is comical.  I feel kind of gross just walking in there, it is gritty![/quote]

I'm the pp who moved back after years away.  I had really expected the mall to have been transformed into Tyson's II or something instead of finding that it had only gotten worse.  That Macy's has smelled like mold for 20+ year and the rest of the stores...yikes.  Really bad.

Mosaic is nice enough, but it definitely feels like a trying too hard to be trendy island in the middle of low end light industrial.  I know it's changing, but that is a major traffic area with 495 and Lee and Gallows, so I'm not sure how that's surmountable.  Hopefully, the same planning geniuses who decided to run the silver line down the center of route 7 will be involved.  Because that really made it feel cozy and community-like.
