To be fair, ye Old Georgetown Board is at fault for the latest outrage. But on all other counts, you're right. We've already got the super-glassy Urban Outfitters, an Anthropologie designed to look like a cottage, and a host of other stores that don't look anything like "historical" properties. It's building Pleasantville at everyone else's expense.

The Georgetown ANC’s standards to preserve the historical look of Georgetown do not serve the major of the community’s best interest. Apple should consider selling the old FCUK building they purchased on Wisconsin Ave and move to DC’s thriving Chinatown/Convention Center district. Quality upscale retail has moved to this district leaving Georgetown’s shopping district looking ‘historical.’ Nice job Georgetown ANC. Your decisions have kept a metro stop out of Georgetown and kept Apple waiting for nearly 2 years to open a store in your prestigious little precinct. Are you worried that Apple may bring the wrong element into Georgetown, just as you thought the metro would 20 years ago? Just another reason for me to consider a new city to call home.

The Apple Store controversy is really a plot by that interfering schemer Bill Gates.

My bad-I was referring to the full store closure, because as non-drivers students don’t really care about the driveway. however, I misheard the timeframe. and while that’s my fault, I’m going to blame acoustics.

Seconded on the reporters–and between DL, Apple, and Piccolo, there were more store owners trying to prove they were good neighbors than journalists.
