The Post’s Paul Schwartzman schools us on what really needs to happen for anything to be approved in Georgetown. After gaining approval from the ANC, the Apple Store facade design is now headed back to the Old Georgetown Board, the body with the apparent real power to dictate what the historic shopping district will look like. Be afraid!

The encounter is so fraught with uncertainty that Mayor Adrian M. Fenty’s office has offered to give Apple advice on how to handle the board and asked to see its latest rendering before the meeting.

The tension will surely be made worse by the fact that the latest design (pictured) looks nearly identical to the first, rejected design. The meeting is set for Thursday, so stay tuned.
