Anyone who doesnt understand the draw/allure of an Apple store needs to go to one in a major city. they are ENORMOUS draws. the NYC stores are sights to behold. The Regent Street store is amazing. Even the KOP mall Apple store is always crowded. This year, during the holiday season, the store was filled to capacity and actually had to turn away shoppers or ask them to wait in a queue. When someone left the store, you could go in.

The pedestrian traffic that an Apple store creates is almost unheard of--they are destinations, regardless if you own a mac, an ipod, or even care about Apple in general. people just simply go to these places.

a well done Apple store in Center City will be an enormous boon to the entire area in which it opens.
