I was sad when Westway was defeated. Now I'm thrilled we have the highway on the surface to save the park, otherwise these types of monstrosities would be on the river, denying us all access. — G on In the News: Easing the way for residential conversions

I agree with Anita: things will never be the same as far as C21 goes. I used to shop there almost exclusively for years, most of my wardrobe is from Century. The best designers, amazing clothes at bargain prices. But now it’s a totally different store that doesn’t even resemble C21. It’s a sad, sad situation. — David on Century 21 reopens with four smaller floors

You must have been there late than me - yesterday May 22 at 3:30 pm the yellow sign from the department of health saying they were shut down was still there.

A local sculptor made the John Jones plaque, a friend of Jones, and they put it up themselves. Zach Minor's comments are inaccurate but a good example of Jones' spin. Oh, he's a friend of Jones.

I visited the store before the grand opening and had a comfortable chance to look around. I was not tempted to purchase anything. I've been a Century 21 customer since the Eighties. I am happy to continually wear the beautiful clothes that I purchased over the years. I used to get so excited about shopping there on my lunch hour and after work. I knew there'd be items I would be compelled to buy, because if you didn't get it then, it would be gone when you returned. C-21 was my favorite store of all time. I spent thousands of dollars there over the years. I will now continue to save money as I have while they were closed. Some things will never be the same. — Anita on Century 21 reopens with four smaller floors

Today I decided to give C21 a second chance and went there with my sister. We both left empty handed and angry. The awful merchandise was still there, no new arrivals. I did look around men’s department and found barely few European brands that were from several seasons ago and only 1 piece of each, either XXS or XXL. Same ugly Dior sweatshirts with tacky logo for around $400, same with D&G and Valentino.So, I didn’t find “tons” of high end items at all, unless you want to be a billboard. In men’s shoe department I felt like I was at Foot Locker- nothing but athletic shoes! A few random pairs of Italian dress shoes, but at high prices. My sister had similar experience in woman’s departments. She felt she was at Marshall’s. Whatever happened to all great leather bags and wallets? Where are the beautiful silk scarves? When she went to the ladies room, there was no toilet paper nor hand soap. A brand new store? The final insult was near the exit by checkout counters: $20 dog collars! The place truly has gone to the dogs!! Seriously! This was my last visit to C21. I don’t see why they would reopen the store that doesn’t resemble it’s former self. I have a feeling that loyal customers will see that and be totally turned off. And it’s a shame. — David on Century 21 reopens with four smaller floors

So long Governors Island! Grateful I had a chance to take nice breezy walks among the dilapidated historical houses and lavender fields before the vultures finally descend upon it. — R. on Seeking clarity on the Governors Island plans

I actually thought it was great — a smaller footprint made it much more navigable, and I think you just overlooked the brands. There were tons of high end European designers scattered about, as well lots of trendy, smaller brands. Honestly, a lot better than Nordstrom. Very happy to have this back in the neighborhood — Franko on Century 21 reopens with four smaller floors
