CT examines Apple Store Chicago architecture

Blair Kamin, a Chicago Tribune architecture critic writes: "a closer look reveals the Apple store, which opened Friday, to be a mostly . Its crisp, skylit interior, which features a spectacular staircase made almost entirely of glass, is a luminous cathedral of computing. And the exterior? Well, despite the offending presence of the logo, it's a decent neighbor -- restrained, skillfully handled, not exactly a prizewinner, but by no means a visual disaster."

    I think what he meant

    Was that Apple used a unique way of showing the logo (the glass window), and the tasteful way he would have liked to have seen apple show their presence, would be to hire 5 midgets full time, to walk around outside the store with Apple logo sandwich boards.

    Kamin is a great believer in midgets and sandwich boards and thinks that Apples complete disregard for the midget-sandwich board method insulting.

    Jerk off

    You tell me, Apple logo offending on Mich Ave or the
    ancient lack lustre Walgreens logo.

    For those who have been to Mich Ave, you would know that the Apple logo in the form it's been done is the most creative and elegant one on the magnificent mile.
