“Workers were busy when Peter walked by the site of the future Apple store in the Meatpacking District of New York City on a Saturday. The building at 401 W. 14th St. is at the corner of 9th Avenue and Hudson Street, with a wide view from any part of the very large intersection. The photos show the scaffolding and state of the interior construction,” ifoAppleStore reports.
ifoAppleStore reports, “Apple has leased space in the basement, ground and second level of the building. Besides upgrading and renovating the building before Apple puts on its finishing retail store touches, the building owner plans to add a penthouse to the building. Apple is expected to occupy the entire ground-floor width of the building along 9th Avenue, but not the entire 14th Street width of the building. Apple will occupy the entire second floor of the building.”

That bugged me too, but I blame Andy Reid for that, not the whole city.
True … but it was the only excuse I could think of, since Jeff is a home boy from the Garlic Capitol of the world !!
Gilroy?

That’s the San Francisco store.
Isn’t Jobs vegetarian? How’d he OK this?
That store looks like a dump. Sheeeesh. I’m gonna sell Zunes across the street for big cash, man.
