MN Apple Store Closing to Remodling

I didn't think the Apple Store in the Mall of America in Bloomington Minnesota was that old but they are closing to remodel it.

Quote:

If you’ve had your eye on the new PowerBooks, the Power Mac G5, the new iPod, or any of our other amazing products, now’s the time to visit the Apple Store.

Because from October 6 to November 11 at 6 p.m., our doors will be closed for remodeling. During this time, we’ll be making a few improvements, including a larger theater, to make your Apple Store experience better than ever.

Stay tuned for a special invitation to our grand re-opening. In the meantime, please stop by our Apple Store at Southdale.

Weird.

At least us metropolitans still got southdale...
But it sounds like it will be worth it - and we get to have a party!

I want them to put a store on the north side of the cities, like Maple Grove. (That's where I'm moving too soon)

I hope they expand it to include classrooms so we don't have to rely on FirstTech for anything. And hopefully they'll also increase SouthDale's software collection during this time, too.

Otherwise, it's not that big a deal for me. I'm about 3 miles away from both stores and usually I ended up at SouthDale anyways (the movie theater there has the really cool seats and I love the California Pizza Kitchen

).

Man, it's a 2.5 hour drive for me... where the hell is the Duluth store?

i talked to them today and they are just re-designing the layout. nothing major. All the products will go to southdale for now.

Yeah, a classroom would be kind of cool, but isn't that what the genius bar is for? And I like firstech, wouldn't want to see them go out of business. If I ever get a new computer it will be a hard choice to make, apple or firstech?
And yeah racer - the southdale theater is waaaay better then at the mall.

Ok for the off topic question. Where could I get one of those little round ball chairs they have in the kids section? If I ran down there today do you think that they would let me buy one of the old ones?

Yes, I am serious ;-)
