I think some of the smaller stores were always intended to only be there short term, FWIW, so I wouldn't look at them as an indicator of how well the Fashion District is (or is not) doing. On the other hand, apparently Candytopia is doing well because they were also supposed to have left a while ago but extended their lease. But yeah, either way it's really unfortunate that Century 21 is closing.
I was also at the Fashion District on Saturday with some family visiting from out of town and their takeaway was that it was nice, and they were surprised by the size of it, but that it needed more - more stores, more destinations, etc. I can't say I disagree with them.
