The second retail store for Louisiana will open tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie, north of New Orleans. The store brings Apple products somewhat closer to the city that remains devastated by Hurricane Katrina. A store in Baton Rouge, 82 miles north of New Orleans, opened in early March and was the state’s first. This latest store will increase coverage along the Gulf Coast, which has long been a black-out zone for Apple stores.

I certainly hope that Apple finds a great retail opportunity on or near Canal Street, somewhere along the streetcar lines for a New Orleans store. Near the French Quarter would be good too, but there are many architectural review restrictions within the Vieux Carre historic district. Maybe in the warehouse district near the Museums would work too.
