Details emerge on future Apple Stores

Yes...it's in Ridgeland...and yes, they seem to be loosing their minds as well. The Renaissance development along with the new Town Center and some others may have Ridgeland seeing themself as the new Madison.

Still waiting for Fargo, ND. The closest is in the Mall of America north of Minneapolis. 3 hours away.

But what's with the blue? Is it a Boston-like local joke?

Poor little Adelaide may never see an Apple store... I guess it must be hard to justify when our population is a *yawn* 1.1 million. We're still a capital city!! I can't afford to travel the 1,400kms just to see the Sydney store open :( - But at least it's a step in the right direction for Apple in Australia. Once the iPhone gets here their computer sales will most likely go up - the iPod has already helped a lot with their branding here... well, everywhere.

How about one in Youngstown, Ohio. One of the largest metropolitan areas without an Apple Store a short drive away. If we need a store, we have to drive to Cleveland or Pittsburgh, both an hour and a half away.

the City of Ridgeland, MS did their best to keep Apple from opening. The City's architectual review board initially REJECTED Apple's store design !

Thankfully, the decision was reversed...quite possibly due to a large number of irate phone calls, trashing in the media, etc...

I believe it the day I can walk in...

There will be a second store in Northeast Ohio - at Crocker Park in Westlake - should be open in the Fall.

It's a very exciting time for apple users in central MS. We won't have to drive for hours to get to an Apple Store now!

Ohhh and don't forget the new store opening at the Friendly Shopping Center in Greensboro, NC. I have confirmed that there are in fact job postings on Apple.com! Now if only they'd set a date! I've been cruising the parking lot looking at the papered-over windows trying to figure which space will be Apple's new home.

Can anyone in MS confirm the Renaissance location? I don't trust the ClarionLiar at all, and the last time I was over there, I walked the location, and couldn't find where I would've thought it would be located.

I would love to be wrong here, and would love to see the store opening in the next few weeks/months. Needed a mouse a couple days ago for my Macbook Pro (like having a mouse for graphic work still), and had to go to Best Buy. Needless to say, an Apple Store would be a welcome addition.
