Top 100 retail landmarks: Apple makes the list

The only thing I buy from the store is hardware bc of the edu discount. Everything else (accessories, software) I buy from third party online stores (amazon, macmall, smalldog, etc.). I love my macs but don't really have the income to support my habit so I have to make sacrifices here and there. :)

Or maybe worked there!

I live in Iran and the closest thing to Apple Store is where I work and bought my Macs! But boy if I were near an Apple Store for sure I'd be there hanging at least 5 times a week!

You need another choice noted:

"There's not one in my area; if there was I would."

Let us not forget the Architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson of San Francisco and the engineers who created these fanciful playgrounds. Those designers are the reason Apple, Inc. is incredibly successful with its retail division. Apple, as an entity simply pays the bills. Architecture is incredibly important in the success or failure of a retail shoppe. The client is not responsible for the architectural typology, only the Architect is. In essence, let us not forget Bohlin Cywinski Jackson Architects.

Where is "I would shop at an Apple store if there was one in my city/state"?

Apple stores are unequivocally retail landmarks. Last summer I traveled to New York City for the first time. On my sightseeing agenda: MoMA, Guggenheim, and the 5th Avenue Apple store.

does anybody else find it incredibly sad that there's a list of retail "landmarks"???

I actually only have gone to that specific Apple store (the 5th Ave location), but that's because it's ridiculously convenient for me because I work in the building it sits in front of (the General Motors Building).

Why is there no, "most of the time"? That's what I would have picked.
