Using Apple To Sell Your Condo
So I saw this post on Brownstoner today, which mentions how Edge developer Jeff Levine keeps hinting at the possibility of an Apple store shacking up in their street-level retail space.
“There’s no deal,” Levine said, “But we are talking and they are interested.” He also mentioned that there was interest from some grocery stores.
Note to all prospective buyers: This is never going to happen. At least I don’t think so. What will end up happening, as Levine mentions, is some grocery store will sign that lease. And honestly, they’ll do just fine selling all varieties of Thai noodles, organically-grown veggies and craft beers to the newly relocated Richsters living upstairs. But as for this constant Apple talk? Edge is just aligning themselves with a cool, hip-sounding company like Apple to appeal to what’s left of the young, condo-buying bankers who wear Converses on the weekends.
In all honesty, that’s just too far to make people walk off the L train. It’s about half a mile! Have you ever walked half a mile for an iPod? No. You’ve walked half a mile with an iPod, and you would probably walk 500 more just to be the man who walks a thousand miles to fall down at Apple’s door. Please. That Salvation Army talk was more realistic.
Where oh where will Apple end up?
