San Francisco Apple Store Grand Opening>>  Click to open

28 February 2004 - The grand opening

A line, three politicians, two cable cars, and an Apple Store. Enjoy the pictures.

California Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom emerge from the store before the official opening.

The line started on Market street and wound around the block.

The line started to the left down Market street and wound back behind the block ...

... and finally arrived at the Apple Store.


The line and the cable cars ...

... traveled up Powell Street.

The theater.

The genius bar.

The staircase.

Of the two G5s that were on display for the thousands of visitors, this one was monopolized for hours by the Chess Troll. No he wouldn't take a hint and no he never won.

The apple shirt given as gift to the first 2500 visitors. The box says, "Say hello to San Francisco."

20 February 2004 - Eight days until opening day

The construction proceeds at a breakneck pace with only eight days to go until the San Francisco Apple Retail Store opens. While taking these pictures, I was hassled by two security guards in Apple polo shirts, who tried to chase me off.

16 February 2004 - Twelve days until opening day

Recently unwrapped from its cloak of scaffolding and cloth, the San Francisco Apple store emerges with one of its two logos illuminated. There seems to be a tremendous amount of construction left. I hope it will finish in time!
