Apple's SoHo Store Attracts "Worst Neighbor Ever" Complaints From Residents
Curbed's got a complaint report from the residents and visitors near the SoHo Apple store in NY, all of whom are really angry at what the store's been doing lately in terms of bugging its neighbors. The latest offense—the anvil thrown off a ten story office building onto an already arthritic camel—was the Jonas Brothers event held August 12. According to the complaint, "thousands of young teenage girls...screamed incessantly on the street for hours for their idols, blocking traffic, injuring one resident in the rush, and inconveniencing scores of other people and businesses." Speaking as a guy who has little kids screaming their faces off outside his window when he's trying to work, I can sympathize. [Curbed - Thanks BrooklynBum!]Apple Store in Sydney, Oi Oi Oi!
Our brothers from down under at Giz Australia got a full-on press-packed walkthrough of the new Apple store in Sydney, the first on the continent, and it looks as nice and Apple-y as you'd expect. This long staircase—to places unknown—is especially cool, and unique compared to what we have in the cramped confines of NYC. However, the retail and Genius Bar sections still do look like, in Blam's words, an "evil twin" of the NYC Meatpacking District's store. Hit the link to see the rest of the pics. [Giz AU]
