Forget Stadiums, Cities Should Fight For Apple Stores - Forbes

Given Brighton is blessed with both, which one has the most impact on the city, the Amex or the Apple Store at the back of Churchill Square ?

Would you make the same argument for Milton Keynes ?

or is this Yank just blowing smoke out of his arse.

You the good people of NSC decide.

The headline is misleading, and he goes on to prove it later in his article. It's not that affluent areas spring up around Apple stores, it's that Apple stores are indicative of affluent areas. They also employ less people than stadia. As a regional development policy it's useless.

Apples, bananas, panty liners, you can get it all at Smellhurst.

I said it in jest , although after seeing Derby have a Greggs and a Starbucks as part of their ground , a little something like that would be superb at the AMEX on the outside of the ground.

Do they? Has anyone ever said to you "I wonder why society is going down the shitter"?

Anyway, people have been predicting the fall of society since the days of Socrates and somehow we have struggled on through
