Louisiana's first Apple Store will open on Thursday

New Orleans is getting an Apple Store soon in Lakeside MALL, Yeah!!!!

I wish I know what and if there will be an assortment of goodies besides the t-shirt. Or if there's a sweepstakes that you can enter after grand opening day. Right now it looks like I won't be able to go and that sux. LSS/Long Story Short: I need transportation since I can't drive my own vehicle, a stick shift, due to surgery on my left foot. :-( Oh well, maybe someone out there will post a few pics and any pertinent information. Maybe I'm not missing much. :-| I suppose if this store is a success, which I'm sure it will be, maybe I'll attend the next closest one in the near future. I thought this would be an ideal time to go since I'm assuming the line will be short, the initial crowd will be minimal due to the odd day Thursday, no holiday, I'm not working right now and short notice.

I would've been happy with a New Orleans location or anything within a reasonable driving time but of course closer to where you live, work or attend school is a big bonus!

Aww Baton Rouge is getting one before us here in New Orleans?
Sucks, we should easily have one in the Riverwalk, or next to Sachs & 5th Avenue.

I've been waiting a long time as I've seen from unconventional or typical places or methods that there are probably quite a few more Mac users in LA the other LA and in Baton Rouge. There are many economic reasons for this I'm sure as probably detailed on infoapplestore.com and one of them might have been the hurricanes Katrina and Rita. I always thought that the 1st store would be in New Orleans or possibly somewhere else. I was hoping for a stand alone shop but at least this one is better than nothing at all! ;-) I'm trying to line up a way to go if possible on GA Day. Gotta see if I can snag some goodies! I wonder what they'll give away? MacBook Air maybe?

Now I only have to drive 2 hours to get to an Apple Store! Yea!!!!

finally!

There needs to be one in freakin Lake Charles...but atleast theres one now..

Avoid the long wait times and walk across the street to the Apple Shop in Best Buy. I would be happy to serve you.
