It doesn't look anything at all like any of the other Apple stores.
Seriously you could take a photo of any of the other stores and say its in Antarctica or the Florida swamp and no one would know the difference.All the Apple stores look the same, thats the whole point. I don't understand the fascination with posting photos of every new store as if it is something special.
Are there websites that post photos of all the new Starbucks or McDonalds that open up as well?
I'm foreseeing iced pumpkin spice lattes being spilled all over MacBook Pros.
It looks like every other Apple store in every shopping mall in every city everywhere.
Meh.
