Congratulations, Carl and April. You have helped make Tribeca what it is. Your work over a quarter of a century is the fabric of our neighborhood. You have been there to enlighten, reveal, expose, admire, explain. Yours is the exemplar of what a community newspaper should be. So many touchstones have been touched by you. So many important and meaningful changes to our home have been catalyzed by you. Thanks. — Bruce Ehrmann on The Trib at 25: Looking back on two and a half decades of covering Tribeca

Liked the idea that BIG wasn't just a glass tower and had several terraces. At least they attempted a bit of a contextual approach versus another vanity tower. Oh well.. — Tk on In the News: Revamped design for Two World Trade

The other towers do not appear to be even half full - do we really need more office space down here? More glass? I would love the terrace idea, hanging gardens, except that I am not convinced much would grow up there given even mild winds which can be quite strong on a high terrace. — C on In the News: Revamped design for Two World Trade

This is a bummer. Sure target and Duane reade can work in a pinch but if you really wanted a special card, or a proper selection you went to papyrus. I’m sure I’m part of the problem being an amazon clicker 3-4 times a day but it still kinda sucks — Boo! on All Papyrus stores are closing this month

In another story I read, Papyrus products will still be available at the many other retail outlets that carry them. In my opinion, this was part of what lead to the demise of the Papyrus stores...you can find the product everywhere...I'm pretty sure you can buy them at a bank. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on All Papyrus stores are closing this month

Fully agree. This market has a perverse cost/quality ratio. We will surely not miss it. The Battery Place Market has gone down in quality and service, too. Have noticed that there was a 3M USD transaction in commercial space in that building just a few weeks ago, so wondering what will be next there.. South BPC really would require the market to bring some reasonable grocery and restaurant options. Otherwise, we’ll keep on Amazon Prime’ing and Walmart’ing.. — CK on Another one bites the dust: Gristedes to close in BPC

Great to see this huge retail space brought back to life after sitting vacant for 8 years. Milk Cafe closed in December 2011 after a challenging environment surrounding the Occupy Wall Street protests. A few years later, Dean & Deluca signed a lease, but then they got into a financial mess and never even begun work. The Dean & Deluca "Coming Soon" sign stayed up for years. I wish this new venture all the best. A vendor offering the right product should do well there. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on “Italian food zone” coming to 40 Wall

Yep — Steve on Seen & Heard: Mr. Dips coming to Pier 17

Well the NEW owner is an OWNER and not a renter, so they rightfully, have the final say, Diane. — Jim Smithers on Another one bites the dust: Gristedes to close in BPC

Why does TC keep censoring my comments. Are they scared? — Jimmy on Another one bites the dust: Gristedes to close in BPC

This page used to be cool and have some fun debates, now many are politically backed, or with a snarky twinge and end up with crappy comments like this thread. Can we bring back the old owner please. Make Tribeca Citizen Great Again — Jimmy on Another one bites the dust: Gristedes to close in BPC

Thank god the BIG monstrosity is scrapped. That crap design would have ruined the skyline and the Trade Center overall. I’m not crazy on the diamonds design either...hopefully third times a charm with this design. This is the successor to the South Tower. It deserves to be iconic. — Anthony on In the News: Revamped design for Two World Trade

Oh my goodness! Tear down the towers? Wow you people are over dramatic aren't you? I do not recognize a lot of the people living in TriBeCa anymore. I suggest you study up on the Brutalism style of architecture ...it might add some perspective. The buildings are spacious, and the views are lovely. Loads of very lovely, hard working people live in these towers. Take a deep breath. — TG on Another one bites the dust: Gristedes to close in BPC

OUCH! — TG on Another one bites the dust: Gristedes to close in BPC

Mr. Silverstein is an amazing developer, and has put up numerous buildings around the City, especially downtown. But I do not feel any inspiration from any of his buildings. To me they are all bland boxes. Safe. — G on In the News: Revamped design for Two World Trade

Excellent point by James. Thank you. — G on In the News: ARC still searching for a new home

Landmarks does something reasonable, and people are up in arms. Wonderful. Here is what LPC issued with regards to the shutters: "With regard to this proposal, the Commission found that the fire shutters that were removed were located within a very narrow hemmed-in courtyard, and were not visible from any public [thoroughfares] or from other buildings or rear yards within the block; that the removal of fire shutters has allowed for the installation of necessary HVAC ducts required for fresh-air intake, in support of the adaptive reuse of the building for residential use; and that the absence of fire shutters at this specific location does not detract from the special architectural and historic character of the Tribeca East Historic District. Based on these findings, the Commission determined the work to be appropriate to the building and the historic district and voted to approve the application. Therefore, Warning Letter 20-0072 is hereby rescinded. "PLEASE NOTE: This permit is being issued in conjunction with Certificate of No Effect 20-05921 (LPC 2005921) for the installation of HVAC equipment at the rear facade and roof." — James on In the News: ARC still searching for a new home

I heard that shinola building is under contract. Is this post updated info? The real estate website says under contract. On the plastic bags. It would be nice if merchants were allowed to offer biodegradable bags as an option since they are convenient for many things and can be reused for other purposes — joe on Seen & Heard: Mr. Dips coming to Pier 17

Chambers. The thermometer is on Reade, but it is not a square. See updated post. — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

Great pic! Does anyone know why the Radio Shack sign is still up on this very same corner ? It’s on Broadway side directly behind the clock in photo. — Tim Blaquiere on Where in Tribeca?
