hmmm.... this may be because it's late and I'm tired, but does anybody else think the entrances to the Ginza store make that front portion look suspiciously like an aluminum cube?
mmmm.... need the sleep....

everyone knows Eskimos don't buy MACS
Rhode Island doesn't really need an apple store. You all can just walk over to Connecticut or Massachusetts.
Seriously, how can there not be an apple store in Pittsburgh, PA? We are the silicon valley of the east. What a joke. Cleveland has an ugly apple store. I'll even take an ugly one!!

Here are some more possible store locations for Apple Stores
London - England
Manchester - England
Paris - France
Berlin - Germany
Madrid - Spain
I'm sure there are others, trouble is they are also outside the world of the USA.

AMEN! With the Charlotte store we will have 2 above us in NC (The Durham store is a good 4+ hours away from Columbia) and 2 below in GA (the Atlanta store is a good 3.5 hours away from Columbia). The good news is Charlotte is only about 2 hours away.
What's Steve got against SC? We said we were sorry for that whole Civil War thingy.
Yeah I think Georgetown would have been a much better place to build an apple store, or downtown by GW University.
+ There is already an Apple Store in Bethesda - http://macupgrades.com/
Pitsburgh NEEDS Apple!!
Elo had a good suggestion at the Walnut St. shops in the Shadyside area of Pittsburgh. But here a couple more.
-South Hills Galleria
-Monroeville (home of the famous Monroeville Mall)
-Sewickley (rich section)
Downtown
-North Shore (home of the 2 new sports stadiums)
-The Waterfront (a new shopping district in town)
-Oakland (home of the Univ. of Pittsburgh Panthers)
There are more, but Apple can contact me directly for location selection consulting.

Please, there are rednecks in every corner of this country. I travel to a different city every couple weeks, and know firsthand how the "redneck" stereotype is not specific to the South. I've seen some of the most hideous rednecks in upstate NY. I've seen some homely folks with NASCAR stickers in your beautiful state of WA (when I was working at Keyport). And Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio. I could go on forever.
My point is if you leave any city (where Apple places it's stores ) you will find rednecks. Bottom line. I don't care where you are. So, get out more and see the world. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Apple needs stores in the South (besides just Atlanta) to diversify it's brand. The type of people in the South that would buy a Mac are just like you and everyone else that owns a Mac. Bubba and Skeeter will never be in the market for an Apple, even if a Dual G5 is given to them free.
By the way, please don't come to Charleston. You will not want to leave, and we have enough transplants here already!!
I live in the south and in our state the majority of the people make between 40-50k a yr on avg. The next highest groups are folks that make 30-40k and 50k-60k a yr. So yeah we rednecks can afford a Mac.
Also their are alot business owners in the South that make more then you and I will ever make in our entire life times.
My parents use to run a restaurant up until 6 months ago and with just one they pulled in around 140k a yr.
My next job if I get it will give me between 75-100k a yr.
If I have to choose another basic computer job I'll atleast get paid 60k a yr.
Remember the cost of living in the South is alot lower then say in San Fran. The house I'm living in now in San Fran. would cost you around 15 mil. accordin to my real estate friend in San Fran. and that doesn't even include our 9 acres of land.

I resent that redneck remark thank you very much. when I'm not at school, I live 45 minutes from San Antonio out in the hill country, we raise cattle and farm hay, I can operate a tractor, and have plowed and planted our fields many times. I can shoot better than most folks could ever hope to, and you'd better not say anything bad about my girlfriend, my pickup truck, or my operating system.
Just ask my friends who are unfortunate enough to use windows

The Connecticut store is about an hour and 45 minutes away and the nearest Massachuests stire is about an hour away with no traffic. People arent willing to drive more than an hour just for an Apple store.
Store needed in Connecticut
Connecticut has some of the most affluent cities and towns in the United States and all we have is one store way up north, closer to Massachusetts than Connecticut.
Or we have to drive to White Plains, New York or take the train to the store in New York City.
Come guys get with the program, maybe if Apple had some retail marketers helping make decisions things would be different.
How about Milford, centerally located or Stamford, Connecticut.

I don't think Steve is some kind of reincarnation of Sherman. He really doesn't hate the South, IMHO. As I read it, the problem in South Carolina is simple - you folks aren't making enough babies! So get busy if you want an Apple store. And convince your friends while you're at it - in fact invite them along ... no, no that is a San Francisco solution, sorry.
Seriously, SC's biggest population center is the Greenville - Spartanburg area and it is only 51st in the nation. There are 3 areas with smaller population that have stores (and a few more planned), but where would you put a store - Greenville or Honolulu?
I'm sure Apple also takes in to account the demographics of an area. Where are the parts of your state with the most young professionals most likely to spend disposable income on new computers? Your college towns are always a good bet.
Just hang on, Apple's strategy is for a slow, steady expansion that will sustain itself. Apple will be marching in any time now - and not to burn down Columbia.
with all the music and video production that goes on in Nashville, i am shocked that Apple has not planned to open one here. all the people i know that work in the music business all use macs. but i think that the stores are more geared to average users than professionals. i can still dream of an Apple store though.
As the story goes, as I understand it, Nashville was one of the earliest of Apple's planned openings of a retail store. However, they couldn't get the variance on local ordinances over the types of signs used in Apples stores. So Apple moved on. I can't imagine that they have given up on Nashville, though.
Correct alot states do not allow signs to be displayed that are flashy, neon, or lude and rude. The reason for this is the fear people will pay more attention to flashy signs then the actual road and cause an accident. Apple will probably have toned down signs for cities and states like this.
In our college town we can have lighted signs in neon but nothing lude or big and flashing. Some cities require signs to be certain size as well because some don't want see type of signs seen in places like Las Vegas.
Apple also has two other new factors going for them in the pursuit of a Nashville store. First, they are now hot as a retail property. Malls now want them as a tenant as opposed to when they just started this effort and no one knew how it would go. Second, Apple also now has a certain native son of Tennessee on its board of directors that just might have some pull in Nashville. I can't believe it is not going to happen.
if anyone here know's MoCo Maryland, then they would realize that montgomery mall is too close to Tyson's Corner... I think that should put the store in a LakeForset, or Columbia Mall... Montgomery is really close to Tysons... That's just my opinion... also White Flint is a good choice...
