SCHENECTADY The Upper Union Street shopping district has been adding new merchants in a period of great challenge for storefront retailers.
A grand opening Thursday marked the arrival of the newest, a home furnishings store with an embedded coffee bar, but since May, a fish fry, hairdresser and smoothie/shake shop also have opened their doors.
