My Work Here is Done

ifo Apple Store:

After following Apple retail for 14 years, I’ve reached a happy ending, and am gracefully backing away from the crazy world of following the company and its stores. No more stories or analysis, or flying out to far-flung locations to join overnight crowds, waiting for the excitement of new store opening (NSO).

Ifo Apple Store Shuts down after 14 Years (Peter Cohen, iMore)

Back in 2001, Apple's retail store initiative was new, and one web site tracked every move Apple made. Now that web site is winding down. A hearty farewell to Gary Allen, who for almost the last decade and a half has reported on Apple's retail store machinations on his ifo Apple Store blog.
