I still remember September 4, 2004, when my buddy at CMU and I stood in line for the opening of the Apple Shadyside store on Walnut Street!

Those were the days of the iPod and PowerBook G4: sometimes when walking back from campus to my apartment, I’d stop by the store just to admire all the shiny objects on display. 🙂

Goodbye, old Apple Shadyside store. Welcome, new Apple Shadyside store!
