1. Apple is expected to go in either Viewpoint or 1010

2. Why would high end retail in Midtown be so odd??? It's not being forced. There's a ton of $$$ intown. Certainly the area is growing like mad. It's not like they are trying to force the Midtown Mile onto some low-rent neighborhood.

agreed.

additionally, there are several blocks of side streets on both sides of peachtree capable of absorbing tons of additional retail. IMHO, it's these streets (spring, w. peach, juniper, piedmont, ponce, 3rd through 14th) that are better targets for those neighborhood sustaining retail establishments that catlike refered to in earlier posts.

i don't see an issue with going for the top tier retailers for the MM portion of peachtree - a good strategy i think.

I would love to see a multi-story movie theater on Juniper or West Peachtree.

Look at the renderings for the realignment of 990 Peachtree...that glass box is just begging for a big apple logo hanging in the front. The corner of Peachtree and 10th seems like it would be a great location for an Apple Store. If you look at the "flagship" stores they desgin they all have very striking architecture and tend to be extremely visible...they kind of have a thing for the "floating" glass box also.

I just think in the overall scheme of things it will be better for Midtown people to go to Perimeter Mall or Lenox for their Apple needs. If you give them an Apple store in midtown, they're just going to be hanging out there at all hours of the day and night when they should be working or studying. Keeping the store a little further away makes it more likely that they won't go to the store unless they actually want to buy something.

Moreover, there's also an Apple store at Discover Mall in Suwanee. How many of these things do we need?

A lot if they keep selling 20,000 iPhones a day!

Sorry, I don't want to start that discussion up again

I would have to disagree completely with you. They are looking for high end retail for Peachtree. The Apple Store is high end retail that the people in the surrounding area can afford. Not to mention their stores just look great. This would look amazing on the corner of Peachtree and 10th St.

I'm not sure if you guys know this, but the Apple Store at Lenox Mall is always in the top busiest stores in the country (not including the flagship stores).

BTW Andrea I am not really sure what you are trying to say about the people in Midtown. What is wrong with visiting an Apple Store. Isn't building a store where your customers are the general idea of retail?

They should not go to Perimeter Mall or Lenox. They should go to the Midtown Mile. Isn't the whole idea to bring street level retail to Atlanta??

If you young folks have enough to be fiddling around in an Apple store it sounds like you have enough time for a part time job. Back in my day we were expected to make ourselves useful.

Hey Granny,

A lot has changed in a 100 years. We young folks believe the government should support us.

I guess this is where us "young" people differ in opinion.

I work to live....not the other way around.

Don't mind Andrea. The change of weather is probably causing Andrea's bursitis to flair up. She gets grouchy anytime the cold weather comes.
