It still looks like it won't make it, but with the work schedule they seem to have, I guess it can happen. The logo area had the backlight, but no logo installed. I will try to resist buying stuff when it opens because I'm betting they will have their after Thanksgiving sale they usually do.

I took a stroll by the Apple Store. There was work on the Apple Store, even on a Sunday afernoon! They were working on the interior and had the door propped open to go in and out One could look inside. The inside is still all sheet rock, but they are building counters around the outside, in typical Apple Store fashion. There appeared to be an Apple sign in a large wooden crate on the ground in front of the store. It was face down, so I couldn't tell for sure, but it is of the correct aspect ratio to fit the hole in the front.The exterior, including the glass front window is still covered by black sheathing to prevent a peek inside. Maybe they will get done by November 1st. I dropped by the Uptown Mall yesterday.Some of the stores are open, so you can park inside and walk around. I took a stroll by the Apple Store.

Take everything with grain of salt, but this is pretty far along for late November opening.

Loop and Sunglass Hut are in between Eddie Bauer and the Apple store (but don't go all the way to the back side). There was activity there about 6:30pm and a plywood barrier up in front of the window area to prevent any real view inside.

The flyer shows the backdoor side of the store, and I think it is also displaced by one store. The photos are an accurate representation of what is there, at least as of last Friday when I last drove by. You can drive right past the storefront by entering the mall on Indian school. Just follow the map. I still find it hard to believe that they will be ready in three weeks for an opening. But I am excited about it. - Duffey Ryan - The store front shown in the photos is on the opposite side of the building from the arrow in the flyer.

Look at the shadows in the first picture. That is a view looking southeast, and for it to be the storefront indicated in the flyer, the view should be looking northwest and it is not. I believe this is a storefront on the opposite side of where the Apple store is indicated that I recall being in an earlier stage of construction than the others. I drove by on the 8th, and saw the Eddie Bauer sign up, but saw nothing like what was in these photos. The pictures are obviously not of the location indicated on the ABQ Uptown flyer.
