Apple Computer picks North Ave, Halsted & Clybourn for new store. And other random stuff.
This site is the triangle of land located at North Avenue, Halsted Street and Clybourn. A former BP/Amoco gas station was located here. It’s a bit remarkable that a big retailer thought that the site was developable for a high-end, boutique computer store. But this is the site of the new Apple store – as in computers.

Your guide recognizes that about a bazzillion cars drive past this location on a daily basis. And that during the Christmas shopping season, navigating the streets around the Clybourn Retail Corridor is near insanity. So we are collectively wondering – where are people going to park???
While walking back to the car from the new Apple site, I came across this lonely vision. I call it “Popcorn, anyone? ANYONE??”
