I'm a big Giants fan and went to the stadium rally after they won the SuperBowl. Way too much "Boston Sucks" and "18 and 1!" chanting for me, I felt like I was at a Yankee game. As a Giants fan I couldn't care less about the Patriots other than beating them.

The same green line that terminates at Lechmere, which is 1/2 block from Cambridgeside Galleria, home to an Apple Store that has been around a few years.

]]> <![CDATA[New Boston Apple Store Largest In The United States (Updated Again)]]> Don't make the mistake of asking, 'Why do they need such a large store for so few products?" They need it becuase:

a) Their overall presentation uses more space than most stores (which pack stuff together as tightly as possible), making for a better browsing experience.

b) Have you ever been in an Apple Store? They're PACKED.

c) This store is in prime college student area - it will be twice as packed as any other Apple Store we know.

So, yes, it DOES need to be that big.

Enjoy all the 2nd tier management from Gap and Banana Republic. How can Apple hire management that can't even startup a computer without a manual? Unlike other stores, where they had the opening staff install the network and configure the computers, they are planning on bringing in outside help. I really hope they've taken into consideration the rat problem that the ally behind suffers from. NEb

LMAO

All you people question why it's green instead of reading any of the comments explaining it should know that the Red Sox are the largest dominating force in Boston. More than politics, more than religion, more than anything.

Apple wants fans to associate them with their feverish fanaticism.

I should know, I work at Fenway =p

and its got one of the best atmospheres of a ballpark Ive ever seen, disregarding the homeless people. Its like stepping back in time to a 1920's carnival every time you go fenway area.

although I dont know about that apple store, doesnt really fit in with the buildings around it. kind of rapes the scene actually

I think they meant subway access in the Boston area. Which isn't quite accurate... the Cambridge store isn't all that far from the Green line's Lechmere stop. Of course, it's probably further away than I want to carry an iMac or something. I had a hard enough time lugging the wife's iMac through the Burlington mall out to the parking lot.

Apple tried for several months to hire me for that location, I even got them to bump up the salary offer to a very decent number for fun.

Sorry Apple, I would never work in retail again.

You get off the train, walk through a tunnel, past a homeless blind guy singing R&B covers with a cigar-box banjo, and up some stairs and you're in the mall. One flight of escalators and you're at the apple store. All without having to even see the sun.

You kid right? With two World Series titles under our belt since the last time the Yankees even made it to the big game, 3 of the last 7 Super Bowl titles and an amazing undefeated regular season last year (despite the upset at the Super Bowl), and the Celtics with a frikkin' amazing 80+% winning percentage and a good chance at the championship this year, we hold nothing but SUPERIORITY over New Yorkers these days ;-)

And yeah, a Boylston Apple Store is greatly appreciated, although I don't mind the drive to either Cambridge Side or Chestnut Hill.

]]> <![CDATA[New Boston Apple Store Largest In The United States (Updated Again)]]> Though we have 5+ stores in the boston area, they are all boring mall stores. It will nice to have a flagship store, right in the (retail) heart of the city.

Not.
