Whitehall, Pa. Apple Store set to open

Yay! Finally the Lehigh Valley gets something good!! Next thing we'll get a Trader Joe's and Costco!

That was actually a lot of fun! Quite a few more people than I expected, but my wife and I got our T-Shirts! Here are the pictures I took:

I also wrote about it on my blog, if anyone cares to read it:

Those of you planning on going...what kind of crowd do you expect? If I want to be one of the first 1000 in, should I plan on being there at the crack of dawn? Or an hour before opening? Just curious what you folks think. :-)

Yep...I agree with yatsey and Rich Anderson.

I find it hard to believe there isn't a store right in Center City Philly somewhere.

My wife and I were actually planning on heading up that direction for some shopping anyway (about a hour away for us). And I think I've convinced her to stop over at the new store to see if we can't get a couple T-Shirts. :-) I'll definitely take some pictures.

Open one in Philly proper, damn it, Apple!

Can I get a Pink one for my girlfriend? She's love one! Please!

there are a bunch of colleges here in philly along with a huge mac base. god forbid they build a mac store IN THE CITY. getting to KofP is a royal pain as well as Suburban Square. pittsburgh has 2 and yet we don't even have one? thats just wrong.

I'm going to be headed past there on my way to a concert in Philly on Saturday, so I'll definitely try to convince my Mac-hating friends to make a stop there so I can get some pics and a free t-shirt...
