penguin chick pictureHI EVERYBODY!!

The Apple Store on Michigan & Huron is getting VERY close to being ready!  Scheduled opening is set for June 27th!  The multitudes will soon begin to assemble at what is being described as the flagship of all Apple Stores to date (whatever that means!)

See you later!

At this point, it seems like the store will magically finish itself, while in reality, the last of the exterior work must be done, as well as the interior furnishing have to be put into place.  It's getting close folks!  Watch this space for further developments.

You can just see the leaf of the Apple logo on the cornerstone here.

An office lobby perhaps?

Undisclosed sources suggest that there may be some complaints about the storefront or logo being "obscured" by the trees.
You be the judge.

The entire first floor Michigan Ave. side is all glass.
A great "finished" overhead view.
Maybe the trees will go back in here...and here.
