  • The long-awaited Apple flagship on the Chicago River opens Friday

        The highly anticipated Apple Store on the Chicago River is set to open     Friday at 5 PM. Customers will enter on Michigan Avenue’s Pioneer Court     and walk down two pairs of granite staircases to the store on the     riverfront. “When Apple opened on North Michigan Avenue in 2003, it was our     first flagship store, and now we are back in Chicago opening the first in a     new generation of Apple’s most significant worldwide retail locations,” Angela Ahrendts, Apples vice president of retail.  [Curbed Chicago]
