Awesome, I need to get my lazy ass to one of these things one day.
great, that’s gettin’ close enough to home to warrant a trip. I’ll have to go buy me a nice mock turtleneck for the visit.
now lets see a Flagship apple store in Milwaukee!
That’s it! I’m moving to Knoxville.
Even closer to Chattanowhere!!!
Heck, this old news!!
I’m anxiously waiting for the store to open in Norfolk, VA! Should be sometime this summer hopefully.
’bout time… No more trips to CompUSA!
I can’t belive it is opening in the mall (LAME)… why not downtown or Homburg/Bearden area?
Come on, Chatt-town! Too bad it would most likely go into the retail hell that surrounds Hamilton Place.
Moved out of Knoxville to Reno. Awaiting tomorrow like a kid at Christmas. Can’t believe it took this long for even a hint of a store in East Tenn.
So, how many of you actually live near Knoxville? (I do.)
P.S. CompUSA did do my business well while they had it. (much, much better service than I’ve ever had in a Circuit City or Best Buy, btw.)
I am in Knoxville area, (Clinton)
Yeah… CompUSA is fine, but they are a bit slow gitting new stuff in.
“Gitting?” I guess were all hillbillies.

P.S. Aaron, I checked my spelling and grammar two or three times to make sure any arrogant bastards wouldn’t connect “dude from east tennessee” with hillbilly.
