Work has begun to construct an Apple store at the Bridge Street Town Centre in Huntsville (Ala.). The city has issued a building permit to Shawmut Construction with alterations valued at $1.9 million, and some preliminary cement work has been performed at space #S23 in the southern section of the development along Interstate 565. Thanks to Adam for the photo showing the pastel-colored plywood barricade next to The Walking Company. The store will fill in a 31,000 square-mile zone surrounded by Birmingham, Memphis, Atlanta and Nashville that has been without a store.

I have some long time friends up in Huntsville that are going to be extremely excited when they read this.
Man that space is fugly. Is that blue stucco? Well if anyone can beautify that, it’s apple. Make the whole thing stainless steel, that’ll do that trick. At least they’re finally getting a store.

The facade is actually a pale gray stucco. It’s just the photograph that’s making it look blue. I own the store just a few doors down from this space. The rest of the complex is very ornate with an italian theme but Apple requested the simplified grey facade as a starting point. I’m sure they will do their magic to the area where the plywood is to make it distinctly Apple’ish. We’re looking forward to having them as neighbors. We are an entirely Mac oriented company.
