First pics of the Boston Apple Store
Our Boston-based buddy, Chad Barraford, sent us in some pics of Apple's new Boylston Street store. Located across the street from The Prudential Center in Boston's upscale Back Bay, this will be the ninth store located in Massachusetts. Apple didn't just create a bland façade to cover the construction, they made it look like Fenway Park's "Green Monster." Now that this is starting to sound like a real estate sales pitch, let's show you some pictures.
Thanks, Chad!

We were out on Newbury Street for dinner yesterday. Here are a few shots of the Apple Store on Boylstons Street the night before Opening Day.

I like how the sign looks at night, too:

Looks more like the Wrigley Field scoreboard than the green monster. Gotta be temporary for that area of Boston, though.

I can't recall anything as regionally specific as this from Apple's store openings - am I right in thinking so, or have there been other examples?
I walked by thursday and there was still all the construction equipment in front of it, but the entire front wall of the store appears to be glass. Also, I remember hearing before it was supposed to be going all the way through to Newbury st but theres a ally in between so I doubt thats gonna happen

Last time I walked by they were working on putting together the glass staircase in the middle of the store. They were taking huge pieces of glass out of boxes on the street and carrying them inside the store. The staircase looks very much like the one at NYC 5th Ave.
How early do people arrive to "camp out" before the opening of a store? I really want to go!!
I'll be their waiting too! I cannot wait!
GO SOX!
I love the attention to detail even on something temporary.
Go Sox, Yankees Suck.
ohh thats nice, i didnt see it at the sox game wednesday night. probably wasn't paying attention.
