But I'll save you the trouble this time around: http://www.ifoapplestore.com/db/2009/02/03/dc-store-design-nearly-approved/ I do like the uniqueness of this store. I like all the stores that have some personal character; North Michigan Avenue with it's stone, Knox Street with it's red brick, SoHo, Regent Street, and Glasgow among others in historic buildings, and Boylston St and George Street with their modern designs. This one with some faux charm and indoor trees certainly qualifies in my book. -Brian Hey Mark, if oyu bothered to look at the “Also read” you’d see that on Feb 3rd, the “DC Store Design Nearly Approved” story which has multiple images and renderings of the proposal.

Honestly, if you read the article, it sure doesn't sound like a picture was available. That's why they describe the changes. If you followed the last proposal, it's clear that the OGB didn't like the large entrance, as it was out of scale to the others on the block. They had to divide it up, and that's what they did.
