Shoppers outside the famed Century 21 department store in Lower Manhattan in New York on Saturday, July 9, 2011. Retailers are anxiously awaiting the opening of the World Trade Center Memorial and the rental of thousands of square feet of new office space in Lower Manhattan. Storefronts are being leased and rents are going up in anticipation of the millions of people who will be working and passing through the area in the next several years. (© Frances M. Roberts)
