I have only been in one other, at Mall at Millenia, Orlando,Fl.:- a great store in a fantastic building. I see it's getting a refurb soon. Bought my iPod there. How about one in Vancouver, B.C. before July? That would just about make it the perfect city. I look forward to going into the Glasgow store-can’t wait, in fact!

The wording of the Planning report is as follows: "Representations Following newspaper publicity about the application 2 letters of objection/representation was received from the Architectural Heritage Society for Scotland and New Glasgow Society and their comments are summarised below • The plans and information submitted in support of the application are inadequate with existing interior plans mislabelled. • It is not known how much of the Western Club’s original palatial interiors are left and the information presented with the application makes no attempt to illustrate the quantity of what remains. • There is virtually nothing on the materials being used and there is no statement that the modifications are reversible." These objections were dismissed by the Planning Committee report which, it could be suggested, was more enthralled by the fact that Apple were to invest substantial amounts of cash into the building than what happened to the [mostly] long-gone original interior of a Grade A listed building, or if any of it which still remained should be preserved. Also, Apple had no option but to retain the facade, because of its Grade A listing. And rightly so, too! However, really pleased to see Apple in Scotland. Don't know how much Scotsys will like it, though!

I see Apple has also begun today recruiting staff for the Glasgow store on its web site. A late 2007 opening or early 2008 would seem likely. Great news!
