The shuttering of West Side was a traumatic event for the Morningside Heights community. When its front windows were boarded up, locals wrote love letters to the old store, recalling episodes from their lives that took place in its aisles and threatening to move away from the neighborhood if it did not return.
Legal wrangling over zoning law caused several months of construction delays, ending in the destruction of what was then the oldest existing commercial structure in Morningside Heights. [1] West Side Market opted to return to the new building, while CoBag and Dynasty chose not to. [2]
