It's Official: Opening Day is Thursday

According to the Boston Globe - the opening day is Thursday, May 15th. Time is still unknown, but our guess is likely 6PM, like other Apple Store openings. Coincidentally, there's a little blurb about our little company in there too. ;)

That also happens to be an off-day for the Red Sox, so some people have been throwing around the theory that there might even be more of a tie-in with the Apple Store and the Red Sox beyond the Green Monster. I guess we'll just have to wait and see on that one.

For our part, we'd like to welcome the Apple Store and its 165 employees to Boston (it's the first one in Boston proper). Over the past year of coverage, we've met some great people, from the construction workers onsite to the folks in Cupertino in charge of the store's construction (who by the way have been using our webcam to make sure that things have been going according to plan).

We can wait for the opening on Thursday. It will mean a new chapter for our company (hopefully a good one), and even we have a couple things in store for opening day.

FYI Shawmut Design and Construction was the general contractor in charge of construction. They also have built over 100 of the apple stores including the New York flag ships.

Rumor has it a new iPhone is being released this week. Possibly coinciding with the Store Opening on Thursday? Would be a nice thought...

I took some photos of the Boston Apple Store with my iPhone today and yesterday. I took some from the glass storefront of the inside. Looks pretty cool. See you at the opening tomorrow.
