Well, maybe so far. It will be topped on the day that the Cubs win the World Series again. Not this year, I'm afraid... :\

How funny would it be if the staff uniform was a black turtle neck and jeans.

We were at the one in downtown Chicago after the Blackhawks rally, so it was rather crowded.

So THAT'S what it looks like inside! I have a blurry night time shot of that store from the outside. It was closed so we didn't get to go inside. :\

That's a pretty nice Apple store you went to Wendy. I haven't been to one that has two floors. It also looks like your children are having a good time. I'm guessing they are future Mac users as well? ;)

The first Apple store I went to was when I was on vacation in NYC. The entrance was awesome! (glass room with an elevator going down into the store)

It was 2007 I think and they had the older all-white iMacs with the funky keyboard.

Here's a page to the store.
Apple Retail Store - Fifth Avenue

And some pictures to go along from the page:

Yes! LOL They would love to be Mac users now, but I haven't seen the need to replace their computer yet...just so they could play webkinz :p

We had this "brilliant" idea that I would carry the baby in the backpack carrier instead of trying to push a stroller during the Blackhawks rally. She was in it all of 2 minutes before she started screaming. I had to carry it around for the other 8 hours. LOL It was probably better that we carried her anyway....for the 2 minutes she was in it, every time someone bumped it I about lost my balance and fell over from the weight on my back. Oh well, live and learn.

You must be talking about Partridge Creek. Actually there are 4 Apple stores in the Metro Detroit area. I've been to 3 of them (Partridge Creek, Twelve Oaks and Briarwood where I bought my iMac). Yes, it's a pleasure to visit any of them.

lol, that's funny. when i read the OP, i knew he was talking about Partridge Creek (despite never having been there), haha. i've never been to any of the three you've listed, but i do go to the one at Somerset nearly monthly.

What's really funny is that I was at Somerset last week. However, I didn't stop at the Apple store because there must have been 500 people in a line into the mall...waiting to get a new iPhone.
