Up, Up and Away

The future Apple store is going up, up, up! In fact, it practically took off over a two-week period, right out of camera range. So we've re-adjusted the camera upward a bit to provide a better overall view of the construction, which is still continuing at a fast pace. What you now see at the very bottom of the frame is the sidewalk-level floor (ground floor?). You're looking slightly down at the second level, and you're looking directly across at the third-level floor beams. I have no idea why the upper floor steel is silver-colored and the lower floors a dark red. We can some concrete pouring for the floors, electrical and plumbing work, and eventually the walls of the building will go up. At that point, we'll have to switch to the live satellite view! I've extended the "house raising" time-lapse through Sept. 4th, but will return to daily videos on Wednesday the 5th.

Hey would anyone know about how one would go about applying for a job at the Apple Store being built in Boston. Will they eventually put out advertisements for it or what.

Check Apple.com for that Mike. I noticed they were taking applications for the new Natick Store not that long ago.

I debated submitting an app, but it would be a 25 mile ride just for a part time job. If only Apple built a store in Worcester County, then I might apply. :-)

Ted from Tech Superpowers sez: "about the silver beams, they are galvanized, presumably because they will be exposed to weather in some way..."

Well, given they're beams for the roof and mechanical, that' the thought of my architect buddy... (water leaks and/or severe humidity)

My daughter's at Berklee, so it's great to know there will be another worthwhile diversion nearby when I visit.
