Apple Store Coming to Philly... Dare We Say "Phinally"?

We told you about the possibility of an Apple store coming to Center City last January. But, that was quickly nixed. It looks like that may change, however, as the design plans for a new store near 16th and Walnut streets go before the city Art Commission tomorrow. Apple has already posted job listings on its web site for the new store, so it's looking good, though an official announcement about the new store hasn't been made. Plans for the building include the trademark, futuristic all-glass exterior. Apple said last week that it will open between 25 and 50 new stores across the country in 2010. The company opened 54 stores between July 2008 and July 2009, but it is known for being picky about its urban locations. We'll keep you posted. (Via Metro Philadelphia.)
