L.A. Apple Store -- The Grove
The storefront has been decorated and on display since The Grove opened. Literature says it'll be open "Spring 2002," but nothing more specific than that. Anyone have more details?
Two floors are reserved. Could simply be high ceilings like Anthropologie, or could be some kind of superstore.
I will finally live within skating distance of an Apple Store!

Come on, the state is dominated by Democrats, and Jobs is a Democrat, right? Please?
<strong>I'll be happy if they ever get one within 70 miles of here....Iowa blows...we need Apple Stores!

Ah, I share your pain. NYC will be the closest Apple Store from Scranton, Pennsylvania.. ever.
There will NEVER be one anywhere near me. Apple fears Dell.

Yeah, Jobs is democrat. Maybe that's why Indiana doesn't have a store yet and Illinois does.

Too far to walk. Too close to make it worth driving and finding a place to park. You have something against skating?

Wanna hear it?
I hate that place. It looks like "Disney's Shopping Adventure" and has made driving both Third and Beverly a nightmare. The only redeeming feature is the Apple store. Thank god I can easily take a DASH shuttle over there; it looks like parking hell (a ten storey parking structure?!?!)

The store is not open because Apple has purchased a glass staircase for the store....and now cannot find a way to fit it in the store. NO JOKE!
I haven't eaten at the restaurant, so I can't say. I am glad for the merchants at the Farmer's Market- I haven't ever seen that place so packed.

There's a glass staircase in the library at our school, and they had to close it for three weeks after the library's grand opening because they realized that glass is transparent, and if you stand underneath the staircase, well, you get the idea.
At any rate, now it has really cheesy translucent plastic covers on every step. what a waste. so if you're tired of looking at internet porn, you can always rely on your new apple store.

Just to put it in perspective, though: There's a city-owned lot smack downtown in Iowa City that a developer offered to buy in order to build some big, ambitious development. The City gazed at its navel for a very long time, and concluded the following:
1) Despite being sizeable and smack downtown (and currently taken up by a parking lot), the appraised sale value of the lot is $0;
2) Despite that, the city refused to sell the property to the developer, who planned to sink a quarter of a billion dollars into his project.
