Discussion

IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

The Children's Place coming to Plattsburgh mall

By DAN HEATH Press-Republican

PLATTSBURGH — The Children’s Place is the newest store slated to open in Champlain Centre.

The company bills itself as the largest children’s specialty apparel retailer in North America, with more than 1,100 locations as of October. The company “sells stylish clothes and accessories from newborn to size 14, at value prices that reflect the company’s motto ‘Big Fashion, Little Prices,’” a press release said.

“The Children’s Place is another best in category tenant,” Champlain Centre General Manager David Napolitan said in the release. “The addition of The Children’s Place, along with our recently announced Crazy 8 store, gives our customers two great options for children’s clothing.”

Construction on The Children’s Place is scheduled to begin in February, with an opening targeted for late spring. The store will be located next to Foot Locker and in front of JCPenney.

Plattsburgh Town Supervisor Bernie Bassett is pleased to see yet another new store coming to the mall.

“It means jobs but also becomes another reason people will come to the Plattsburgh area to shop,” he said.

The Children’s Place designs, contracts to manufacture and sells its merchandise primarily under the proprietary The Children’s Place brand name.

It reported net sales of $1.71 billion in the fiscal year that ended on Jan. 28, 2012. That compared to $1.67 billion in fiscal 2010.

The nearest locations to the North Country are at University Mall in South Burlington and Smart Centre in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec.

Additional information and online shopping is available on the company’s website at www.childrensplace.com.
