I wasn’t planning on visiting the new Apple Store in the Maine Mall on opening weekend, I really wasn’t. In fact, I almost blew off my trip to the mall because I thought it would be a mad house.

However, this is Maine where you can show up 15 minutes before a movie starts on opening weekend and still grab a great seat, and where White Stripes tickets are still available day of the show. Apparently there was a long line when the store opened, but by 3pm when I showed up there was just steady traffic in and out.

I saw my friend David Sliwinki of Fulcrum Digital Media wearing an Apple shirt, so I walked in and said hello. He helped me get a couple of iPhone accessories I needed, and was able to ring me up w/o even taking me to the register. Pretty cool.

I realized after I left I didn’t even really look around; couldn’t tell you where they put the Genius Bar. I’m just glad that we finally have an Apple store here in Maine.

By the way, this photo was taken before the nice security guard told me that you can’t take photos in the mall.
