Greensboro store opening draws cheering crowds
After extended delays and much anticipation, the Greensboro, NC Apple Store at Friendly Center finally opened its doors yesterday to paying customers.
The photo here is courtesy of the Iconfactory's Talos Tsui, who appears momentarily in this local news coverage from prior to the store open; unfortunately, his colleague Gedeon Maheux is misidentified as "Corey Marion" in the clip. Whoops! Perhaps that lingering closeup on the Twitterrific icon in the store window will help soothe the pain.
You can check out all the Greensboro excitement from those who were there:

The store's official page, with event schedule and directions, is at Apple's retail site. See Talos' video from inside the store in the second half of the post.
