Apple Store openings: Did you go?

It was a good weekend in Holyoke, Massachusetts and Ann Arbor, Michigan, as each city opened a new Apple Store on Saturday. As usual, we ask any TUAW operatives who may have attended to share their reports and/or pictures. So, did you go, and if you did, how was it? Let us know in the comments.

I wanted to get up to the Holyoke store, but real life had other plans for me. I wonder if the opening will affect the authorized retailer in neighboring Northampton, MA.

Anyway, here's hoping you scored a T-shirt, the Opening Day Contest's grand prize and, dare we say, an iPhone!

Finally, if you haven't gone down to the stores yet, show us a little love and set the in-store Macs to TUAW!

Apple Store Holyoke, MA set to open

Massachusetts' seventh Apple store - and the first outside of greater Boston - will open on Saturday, July 21st in the Holyoke Mall at 10:00 AM. As usual, the first 1,000 visitors will receive commemorative T-shirts and a special opening day giveaway will feature very nice prizes. If you visit the store on opening weekend, please send us your stories and photos.

Speaking of Boston, the concrete foundation has been poured for the new flagship store that will grace Boylston Street in the city's Back Bay. I can't wait until this location finally opens!

Massachusetts college to podcast acceptance letters

Fitchburg State College in Fitchburg, Massachusetts (my fair state) has announced that they will send an email to 1,000 future freshmen that contains a link to the school's podcast in iTunes. The podcast features the school's president Dr. Robert Antonucci with the good news, and music by additional faculty. That's pretty cool, of course, when I was in school, email was a big deal.

I can see the excited high school seniors running to their parents now:

"Hey, I got in to college!"
"Great! Did a letter arrive in the mail?"
"No, my iPod told me!"
"?"

Hingham, MA Apple Store opens Saturday

Attention, New England Yankees. This Saturday, February 18th at 9:00 AM, Apple will open its newest retail location, Apple Store Derby Street. This store is located at 94 Derby Street Shoppes, Suite #275, next to Burton’s and The Children’s Place. You can find complete travel directions here.

As usual, the first 1000 visitors will be rewarded with commemorative t-shirts. Visitors can also enter to win the “Grand Opening Sweepstakes,” which will award one winner with an iMac, an iPod nano, a Canon digital camera, a Sony Handycam CCD-TRV138, and an HP inkjet printer.

If you're going to attend the opening at Derby Street, please send us links to your photos and reports! Good luck and have fun.
