Remember how every store used to have calendar of events to hand out, and now only flagship stores have them on papers while every other store needs to rely of the store's website? I know that those black panels while looking good, didn't take wear very much. The Woodfield IL store has a large black panel area facing the center court which has taken abuse near the bottom, prompting what appears to be at least one new coat of paint. Those handprints do stink though. -Brian So between this store and the several recent ones that have opened with no storefront windows, do we think that this is another cost cutting method?

[IFO - Absolutely correct! However, it's the side wall of a corner store..and <a href="http://www.ifoAppleStore.com/blog/2006/09/apple-hits-wall.html" target="blank" rel="nofollow">huge</a>! It's about 15' high by 30' wide. But I think this is the first stainless steel for the storefront.] If I recall correctly, the large aluminium wall is used in the Annapolis Mall Apple Store.
