If you haven't visited Hoosick Street in Troy in a few years, you may notice that it looks a lot different.

Troy Plaza has become Hudson River Commons, and with the name change it welcomed a new Peebles, Starbucks, and the Capital Region's second Sonic Drive-In location. Where once old houses stood at the corner of Burdette and Hoosick, there is now a Rite Aid. Instead of an open field at the corner of 15th and Hoosick, there's a new McDonald's.
