Want an Apple Store in Georgetown? Sorry.
There are so many ramshackle, unimpressive storefronts along Wisconsin in Old Georgetown that for the two government boards to block Apple's reasonable proposals seems little more than an adolescent, petty exercise of authority. But that's how the preservation police get their jollies in Washington. The only things that suffer as a result are the economy and the people who live, work and shop here.
Yep, the historical preservation mindset at work. There's very little left of Wisconsin Street worth saving - I'd say the street's only charm in the lower reaches is the jumbled variety - but replacing a FCUK store with an Apple store doesn't work for the fashion police.
