Shoppers who were looking to beat the heat on Saturday inside the Marc Jacobs women's store in the West Village were out of luck, because at around 1:30pm, a part of the ceiling fell down. City Room describes the scene: "Pieces of plaster covered the handbags, scarves and other luxury merchandise. A large light fixture came crashing down with the ceiling, leaving a gaping hole."

Luckily, no customers were inside of the store when it happened, and none of the employees were hurt (though they were mighty dusty). Someone from the store taped a dramatically misspelled sign to the door to alert customers that the shop was closed, which read: "Teporaryily closed sorry for the inconvience."
