Birmingham, Ala. Apple Store confirmed

Put on your party hats, Mac users in Birmingham! The Birmingham News is confirming Eddie Bauer's departure from the Summit Mall is Apple's gain, as they'll be taking over the now vacant space (it's #28, if you're fluent in mall-speak). You may have heard rumors a couple of years ago regarding an Apple store in Birmingham. What has the hold up been? Just ask Libby Lassiter, who is the executive vice president of development and leasing for Bayer Properties:

"...the center was in negotiations with Apple several years ago, but the space available for the store was too small...by six inches."
