Apple Store @ Waterside Shops
UPDATE: This person was the first person in line at 5am well before anyone else arrived. Another person that was at the opening also sent me some video. His turned out way better than mine. He probably didn’t record it on a camera!
Well Doug and I just got back from another Apple Store Grand Opening. Two weeks ago we were in Estero, FL for the Coconut Point Opening and today we were in Naples, Fl for the Waterside Shops Opening. The one in Naples has a totally different atmosphere than Coconut Point and I think that the Coconut Point store will do more business in the long run. Why you ask? Well not to many nerds that I know are shopping at this store, this store and this store. That’s just to name a couple of stores around the Apple store and inside Waterside. Once again I have uploaded photos to my flickr site and have also posted this short video of the pre-opening events.
Now all I have to do is keep doing web development on the side to save enough money to get a Macbook Pro. I think we are through for a long while with Apple store grand openings. We now have stores from Tampa South and east over to Miami.
