Now me thinks Grand Central Station would call for an awesome retro/glass designed store for Apple.

closing on Sunday is a nice tradition that, typically just means you buy your stuff the other 6 days of the week, but ensures most everyone has a day off - the same day off.
The roots may have been in respecting Sunday - but in reality, one could support such a tradition without caring about it being Sunday, in particular.
It's just nice, having a day set aside as being different. Not everyone gets the day off - police, hospital, fire - apple genius bar apparently - would need to remain open for essential services. But for everyone else, they have this shared holiday, which is actually quite neat.
You can end up scheduling activities for that day, and be relatively sure that most people have the day off.
but nevermind Sunday, at least preserve the tradition of Christmas. It used to be that it was one day, when everything was closed and people spent that day slightly different, and it was a shared experience.
Now wal-mart stays open on Christmas. What happened to Sunday will happen to every holiday...and it is a loss.
These are my stores. How did I end up living in a county with my addiction to Apple products?
Being a long time Apple user and yes, dare I say it.... a Fan. As such, as much as I tried with phrases like "Not going to go with the first revision." "Waiting to see what is next." "My contract with my carrier doesn't expire for another year." I just couldn't help my self from somehow convincing myself that I needed this thing now. I got the iPhone.
The best part was that I was out at around 7:30pm the day it went on sale and the line at my local Apple Store here in New Jersey was not completely out of control. Sure I stood in line for about 20 minutes or so, but the overall experience was rather painless. That was the Apple experience. Yes, I am Rik. Yes, I have a problem. I am an Apple Addict. The more things they come out with the more I end up with. The iPhone is probably the most interesting and amazing device from them that I own. Besides, I had to see if the hype was justified. In short... Hell yea it is. This thing is amazing! Going to go discover more cool things to do with this thing. Catch up later.
