Apple posts info on Mich. Ave store in Chicago...

[jholzner]

Apple has posted the grand opening info for the Apple Store on Michigan Ave in downtown Chicago. I've been in the city the last two weekends and wandered over to take a look at the progress. The store is very cool looking. Too bad I'm not going to be in Chicago for the opening. Maybe I'll head over that way for the 4th of July weekend. I've been waiting for this store too open for two years now!!

Wow! Wish I was still living in the 'burbs -- I'd definitely drive down to check it out.

The parts I like the best:

We even put in the first-ever Apple Store Internet Café with 16 computers for you to check your email and experience the Mac at your own pace.

Studio Series. Paid hands-on classroom series delivered by experts in specially-equipped studio training space above the theater.

and:

In the Theater

Cool looking store, but that's the type of window that I'd expect hear an evil genius laugh maniacally while plotting world domination. I wish we had one of those windows in Toronto.

Okay, I'll shut up now.

I'm just glad I don't have to drive out to God forsaken Woodfield Mall every time I want to visit the Apple Store from now on. Thanks for finally moving out of the sticks, Apple.
