Let me start by saying this clearly has no bearing on any of the pertinent questions. But it’s come up a number of times. So I thought I’d flag it just for the sake of clarity. As you know, the proposed spot of the Cordoba House project is the one formerly occupied by a Burlington Coat Factory location a couple blocks from the WTC complex. Wikipedia says that they have locations in 45 states. But on a number of people who’ve written in seem to be thinking that this was a coat factory, as in a place that manufactures coats. It’s not. Burlington Coat Factory is a chain of general interest department stores, mainly focused on clothing and shoes. Again, not that it sheds any real light on the current controversy. But just thought I’d note it.
When Is a Coat Factory Not a Coat Factory
