i was gonna mention TMbG, but i'd rather keep it to myself.
last christmas when i was shopping on a particularly cold and brutally windy day i was waiting at the light to cross michigan avenue, to my left was jerry springer. i said "hey jerry. cold huh?" to which he replied "windy too".
I was in the Atlanta store this past Saturday and they were reloading the iPod reserves behind the front counter...it was about 11:30am and the guy at the register said it was the third time that they'd reloaded it that morning! Atlanta is hot on Chi-town's heels for the spot....we just gotta be.
I paid $40 for a pizza in Chicago last week. Damn fine print! Oh well, my friend who I was visiting there bought an iBook yesterday from the very store in discussion.
also "windy city" is a term a New York newspaper gave to Chicago and it doesn't refer to the weather.
Incorrect. Byzantium was the empire, Constantinople was the town.
Roman emperor Constantine founded it and named it after himself while there was still a Roman Empire. (circa 330AD) So Byantium didn't really exist until 600 or so.
I don't like NYC. I've never been to Chicago, but it has to be pretty lousy to be worse than NYC.

dredging up old threads is fun when you haven't visited AI in 6 months or so...
That said, the North Michigan Ave (NMA) store may be the highest trafficked but the SoHo store is by far the engine of apple retail as far as sales. I know this for a fact. Just have to stick up for home.
It'll be interesting to see how the San Fran store fares.
Overall Apple Retail is rocking! But NO ONE touches the SoHo store. They've even added a whole other set of registers up stairs next to the genius bar and the lines are still 100 feet long (at both sets of registers)!

I am, however, partial to New York.
Although Harrison Ford is from Chicago...

Ginza must be making a lot too. (beating the nr 1 in 40 days won't be easy,..) .. and LA must have far too many stores to make any of them be nr 1 ..
