No there isn't. The closest Metro stop to Georgetown is at Foggy Bottom, about 3/4 of a mile walk. You might be thinking about the National Press Building. “there’s a Metro stop right underneath at the Shops.”

It's right next to the Dupont North Metro Exit. Georgetown is a pain to get to. There’s a better spot in Dupont Circle next to the PNC Bank. It’s right next to the Dupont North Metro Exit.

I work at one of the "local" Apple stores, and this has been long overdue. Although it's not metro-accessible, there's a bus that costs $1.50 ($1.25?) from the metro that drops off right in front of the proposed location. Oh yeah, and it's 5 blocks from where I currently live. =) About time. I work at one of the “local” Apple stores, and this has been long overdue.

Nathan's is where my parents met. It’s about time downtown Washington had an Apple store, but I’m a little bummed. Nathan’s is where my parents met.

A lot has been said about Georgetown, but as others have said there are other places. Union station would be nice, the shops near 16 and K would be nice too. Since someone mentioned the Convention center and metro center, I wouldnt be surprised if Gallery Place, Verizon Center Chinatown is not being considered. Hey folks.

It sucks, I know-- no transit, bad traffic, all the personality (book stores, movie theaters, markets, restaurants, etc) has fled, leaving only big-ticket national retail. So, now the tourists will be able to go to an Apple store in DC. Unfortunately, Georgetown is the only actual high-end retail district in downtown DC.

Its close proximity to Georgetown and George Washington Universities make it ideal for the younger crowd. Aside from the wealthy residents, there are plenty of poeple who commute along that intersection going into and out of the city. Many of the downtown areas are deserted unless it is a weekday (i.e. along K St NW), during events (Penn Quarter/Verizon Center area), or a week night (Adams Morgan). This is not to say these places are not attractive for an Apple Store, but Georgetown remains consistently busy all year long. When the school or legislative sessions are out the tourism will make up the difference. That intersection also has a Circulator Bus stop (along with Metro) and tons of cabs. It may not be Metro rail, but the Rosslyn and GW/Foggy Bottom stations are not too far away. There are plenty of architects and design people who live or work in Georgetown. Many politcians frequent the bars and upscale dining along M St. Georgetown is the perfect location for an Apple Store.

After all, there's a Metro stop right underneath at the Shops. I certainly wouldn't classify it as "the best corner", though. That's just silly. Then again, the spaces that would be even better are either mostly taken up by stronger entities than even Apple or simply undesirable.

It's centrally located in an area with many tourists and foreigners that are looking to purchase influ (oops) electronic devices (oops again?) Few 'genius's' at present, but lots of room for help desks! :) There’s a big white building on Pennsylvania Ave. that might be aq good choice when the current tenant’s “lease” expires!
