Steel City

Well, those men in hats aren't messing around this week. Most of what you see now, the steel structure, (as of 8/24) was built in one day, on the 19th. I'm sure Gary will get those time lapse movies up soon, but if you've only been checking once a week, you missed all the action.

It looks like the top floor of what you can see now is the 2nd floor of the space, since the foundation work that was being done is what will be the basement (and customers will not be able to go there). Rumor has it that there will be 3 floors - and while there was talk of a garden roofdeck, I think that was just wishful thinking by Geniuses. Anyway, they wouldn't have time to enjoy it anyway, since they'll be spending all of their time answering iPod questions at the Genius Bar.

Meanwhile, the Tech Superpowers folks on break will be lobbing water balloons at our uniformed Apple Store companions from our roof deck garden from above (our offices go up to a 5th floor). "You can take our business, but you'll never get our tomatoes!" will be our motto in 2008. Unless Steve asks, in which case, he can have one. OK, two.

While you wait for more work to be done, you can always check out my latest post on if Mac Users are Smarter...
