Ok, I've spent a heck of a lot of time in Grand Central, as I'm sure most of you have. Now, am I crazy, but how in the world can Apple open its biggest store in the world there?

Confirmed: Apple To Build Biggest Store Yet In Grand Central Terminal
I especially like the part of the article that says Apple may have to take down walls of Grand Central to fit its biggest store in there. Jackie O must be rolling over in her grave! Of course, they can't take down walls of Grand Central! It's a protected historic structure. But leave it to a technology blog to not have the slightest idea what "protected historic structure" means!
I kid the technology blog (not really).
Supposedly, they say, Apple wants to open a store in Grand Central to alleviate the crowding at its Fifth Avenue store. Now, that I can believe.
I know NY is the Big Apple, but this is ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteGreat pun! It will be a designer's challenge how Apple will acquire permission of developing its largest store within Grand Central Terminal. I could see it operating in shops, and not affecting the landmarked spaces. This is a pathetic illustration of Apple on the balcony, as featured in Gothamist:
