Georgetown Apple Store Redesign Approved by ANC

Vox Populi reports that ANC 2E voted last night to approve a redesigned facade for the long-discussed Georgetown Apple store. The Northwest Current reported in December [PDF] that the Georgetown advisory neighborhood commission had rejected three consecutive design proposals for a facade for the Apple-owned property at 1229 Wisconsin Ave. NW. The approved design reportedly has a more Georgetown-friendly brick emphasis and the “Apple logo greatly diminished in size.” Apple retail news web site ifoAppleStore says the store could be open as early as late 2009.
