Watertown, NY needs... (New York, Thompson, Perry: closing, restaurant, budget)

[JWRocks]

Is there a Dick's Sporting Goods store there? Their latest store designs -some of them- have a large activity area. Like the one at Eastview Mall, Victor.

Yes, it is at Salmon Run Mall, which is off of Arsenal Street and west of I-81: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.9796...2i37?entry=ttu

Arsenal Street is where the bulk of the big box shopping is located in the area. In recent years, some has been built on Route 11 across from Fort Drum in the Calcium/Evans Mills area in the town of Le Ray, that wasn't there 20 or so years ago: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.0398...2i37?entry=ttu

This is a street view of a newer shopping center on Arsenal Street further west going towards Sackets Harbor: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.9735...2i37?entry=ttu
