[noreaster]

It is not official, but I am sure someone at Apple will see it.

but what about the local mom and pop stores?

[noreaster]

There aren't any local Mom and Pop Computer Manufacturers in Bay Ridge. We have got some great Halal Meats though.

And if hipsters and yuppies with money from other Brooklyn hoods come to the mac store in Bay Ridge, they will possibly stop and have a bite to eat in one of our places or shop in one of our non computer mom and pop stores.

[observ]

Manufacture is irrelevant. It would be selling the stuff here, not building it. It therefore would compete with any local business that sold computers and misc, even PCs. Sorry!

As long as they don't move here or eat in the wrong places, yes?

[italiana71]

They can eat and move wherever they want. This is America for dang sake, people are free to do what the want. : ).

[VirginiaDave]

They should open a cart on 5th and 86th. The laws aren't enforced there.

I mean no disrespect but why would anyone who lives in a nabe closer to the many Apples stores in the city want to take a long ride on a local train to BR?

[Grandules]

Excellent question. They wouldn't.

[italiana71]

No, they are going to the Staten Island mall instead to get their Mac stuff because there is a store there. I know it sounds crazy but I know people who do.

Hey if it works for them what can you say?

[Laura]

Why don't people shop on the internet more? Don't you know you don't actually have to leave your houses for anything anymore? Its great!

[Horse]

Especially for Prescription Glasses. Starting at $6 for the not so hip, up to $46 for the more hip styles of frames. Price includes the frames and len's, case and microfiber cleaning cloth.

Hundreds of styles to choose from.

Amazon prime rocks.

Amazon prime rocks.

I agree. It brings me closer to my ideal: avoiding stores entirely.

It also helps you develop a close relationship with your UPS delivery man. That should alleviate any concerns regarding one's socialization.
