Yeah, I was in Portland a few months ago and had never seen an Apple store wrapped in a chain link fence with two security guards that stood next to the gate entrance. Felt very strange to say the least.
I can already smell the urine and feces from here.
Is that Apple's new custom patented Portland-proof shutter? I wonder if they'll record using their iPhones as they attempt to "circumvent" it.
Looks like something from The Running Man (1987)
That Apple Store (in actual Portland) was a bit close to the main ruckus area - they certainly had the expenses to barricade it.
Take a trip to east Portland, it's most definitely not in a 4-6 block radius.
Do you understand why it looks that way and what would be needed to fix it? Do you understand that sometimes it's intentional?
Regardless of whether that typo is intentional or not, it's hilarious.
They should have solid titanium bars on the windows. Or even better, go solid titanium walls. That's the level of protection you need in Portland, the failed city.
That's (not surprisingly) what the "benches" in front are for- To prevent smash and grabs.
Lotta people in these comments who've "read" about Portland & Seattle but have certainly never visited.
Seriously. It’s fine with me though. I like the PNW the way it is.
Certainly this was designed to be riot-proof. Downtown Portland has become a ********. So sad.
Man, I think we should encourage their hatred of the PNW. It’s suuuuuuuper scaaaaaaaryyyyy! Don’t come! The Apple Store looks like a foooooooooorrrrtreeeeeessss! And it rains all the time! (At least it used to)
Oh my gawds! The Anarchists are taking over Washington Square! They’re eating all the Cinnabons! Oh, the humanity!
Would like to see more photos from the opening day!!!
That was the downtown Pioneer Square Apple Store that was firebombed by BLM/Antifa. I was there about two weeks ago and there’s a ton of scaffolding still in front of the store even after all this time due to that damage. I lived in the Portland suburbs for over 20 years and have been to the Bridgeport Apple Store quite often, the old one. I live about 75 miles south of Portland now, but go up there frequently, sometimes as often as once a week.
Bridgeport is two exits north of the I-5/I-205 interchange in Tigard, which is about 10 miles or so due south of Portland city proper. I hadn’t actually been to Bridgeport in a while and didn’t know they were opening a new store. I was just in Tualatin, one exit south of that for an eye doctor appointment just this past Monday. There’s a third Apple Store in the area at the Washington Square Mall, which is about 2 miles west on the 217 highway off of the I-5 with the 217 ramp being about 3 miles north of Bridgeport.
Next time I’m up there, I should go visit the new store. I plan on going up to the area again sometime next Sunday, so I should check it out.
I go to Portland all the time. I have season tickets to the Keller Auditorium for their Portland Broadway series, which is only a few blocks from the Courthouse. I was at the Pioneer Square Apple Store just a couple weeks ago getting my son an iPhone to replace the one he broke, right after I saw a show, To Kill a Mockingbird, at the Keller. The show starred Richard Thomas, the actor who portrayed John Boy on the old Waltons show. The next show is in two weeks, the Jagged Little Pill.
When I went to the Apple Store, I was surprised to see so much scaffolding still there, since it’s been a while since the attack. The entrance is rather hidden right now behind a lot of wooden boards and a temporary ramp.
