Apple Comes to Town
Yes, finally, Charleston is getting its very own Apple Store. It’ll be right in the heart of downtown, on King Street, where a lot of historic buildings house shops of all kinds.
Before moving to Charleston, I lived in Richmond, where an Apple Store opened in Short Pump Town Centre. (Any time a mall can spell center as centre, stores inside suddenly feel like they’re far more high-brow than they actually are.)
But the Apple Store was cool. Walking into a computer store and realizing that there wasn’t a PC-based anything anywhere in sight was a nice feeling.
I don’t hate PCs, you understand, but it’s just cool to walk into a place where Macs are the only choice.
Charleston’s new store opens this Saturday at 10:00am. I will not be one of the ones who’ll likely be lined up outside waiting to be the first customers inside. I’m sure I’ll drop by, but I don’t have to be among the very first inside. I’ve been inside an Apple Store before; so I’ll let the uninitiated have their turn first.
I’m a nice guy like that.
Hat tip to Jared.
