Not only is there a risk of snow falling off the sloped roof, there are some nasty-looking icicles hanging there as well.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for Apple, Chicago-area temperatures will hover in the single digits over the weekend, so people shouldn&#039;t be heartbroken about the lack of access to the outdoor areas of Apple\u2019s \u201ctown square.\u201d And those of us who have lived or worked in downtown Chicago are accustomed to signs warning of falling snow and ice this time of year. That said, a little bit of weatherproofing can go a long way.<\/p>\n<p><em>Listing image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spudart.org\/blog\/design-flaw-apple-flagship-store\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Maldre, spudart.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1238143\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p> [contf] [contfnew]         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/themes\/ars\/assets\/img\/material-ars-db41652381.png\"\/> <\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ars Technica<\/a><\/h5>\n<p> [contfnewc] [contfnewc] <\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/newswirenow.co.uk\/2017\/12\/29\/apple-store-designers-appear-to-have-forgotten-about-chicago-winters\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Store designers appear to have forgotten about Chicago winters<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/newswirenow.co.uk\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">News Wire Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snow and icicles on the roof of the riverfront Apple Store i..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50348,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
