Just a Little Thing Called the BIGGEST APPLE STORE EVER
Oh, it’s so exciting. Do I even need to tell you? You must know already. All the cool people know already. Do I really have to mention it? OK, fine…I’m too excited anyway. The Apple Store on Boylston Street opens today.
Somehow, Steve Jobs convinced the notoriously curmudgeonly Fashion Club to agree to the design, which, until recently, hid behind this locally-themed banner. Behold the true magnificence!
Now, I realize Apple put a store way out in Chestnut Hill (good luck getting there anytime soon) and another just over the river in Cambridgeside, but this, this, is a big deal, folks. The biggest deal Apple Inc. opened outside of 1 Infinite Loop.
Now, I don’t want to get your hopes up by promising this will improve property values in the region. So let me put it this way: Sir Speedy wasn’t raking pedestrians into the neighborhood. And here are a few places up for sale nearby, in case you’re looking to invest in something more than an iMac.
280 Comm Ave #308 - $574,280
1 bed, 1 bath, 645 sq. ft.
What did we learn from the MacBook Air? No only that size doesn’t matter, but a lack thereof is often preferable. Good design trumps all. Also, deeded parking and an open house this weekend. Grab a 30-inch monitor and see how it compliments this efficient little place.
360 Newbury St #702 - $735,500
1 bed, 1 bath, 848 sq. ft.
Take that Mass Pike view frown and turn it upside down! Forget those dinky, overpriced Newbury St boutiques; you’re now neighbors with the biggest, snazziest overpriced store in town—and it’s enormous, dang it! Plus, your aerie perch will make sure you’re the first to know when the new batch of iPhones arrives.
776 Boylston St #W-11A - $5,500,000
2 beds, 2.5 baths, 3,179 sq. ft.
Whether your expression’s a sunny Steve Jobs grin, or the sourpuss scowl of Michael Dell, you’ll be able to aim it downward at the new Apple installation from this opulent pad. And, in the case of the latter, should you succumb to whimsy under the influence of spirits, you might just make it an additional half-bath…
