The song, which was written and performed by Century 21 Co-Owner Eddie Gindi, hit #1 on the Billboard Singles Sales Chart this month and embodies the emotional journey of those affected by the 9/11 catastrophe. As a second generation, family-owned business, Century 21's downtown flagship location has been the area's fashion anchor for over 50 years.
