When I was putting together this little Google Map of Apple
Store locations in the area, I noticed with amazement that while Center City still does not have its own store, Atlantic City does! Somehow, I've never thought of people who spend a lot of time in Atlantic City as being Apple's target market. There have been rumors and photographs of storefronts that were supposedly being rennovated into Apple Stores in Philly, but none have ever materialized.
Couldn't Ed Rendell get on the phone to his old friend Al Gore, who is on Apple's Board (he probably invented the iPhone also), and say, "hey Al, we need an Apple Store in Philadelphia"? I'm sure the Governor could also steer $1 or$ 2 million in state economic development funds Apple's way to cover startup costs, since he seems to have an unlimited supply of that.
