We heard the rumor from 2 sources that the Hardware Store was leased by someone from the X-Lounge team.
We also heard they are going to serve nothing but Spam (OK, that’s a lie).
Does anyone know more deets?

Not sure, but I _did_ notice that a number of the conference rooms at the Omni were reserved for Apple Computer today. There were a fair number of people in there… whether they’re having a training session or whether this has something to do with the proposed Apple Store on the Mall, I have no idea… I mean, what explanations do you have for a contingent from Apple coming to Charlottesville?
i can’t wait for something good to go into the Hardware Store space, but I thought it was supposed to be a fauxIrish pub or something like that? I can’t see Apple modding that space to fit their Apple Store image without pissing off the ARB. I mean, the Hardware Store is kind of an historic landmark-type of place, right?
I doubt Apple would want to move into the Hardware Store. I’d guess they are here to recruit UVA students.
they should turn it into a gentleman’s club.
That’d be great, but which Cville Barbie would work there?
probably fluvanna barbie or greene barbie. but i’m sure friendship court barbie would be there too. her ken is the manager/MC.
I propose that it be donated to b yo, who will transmogrify it into B Yo’s House of House & Electro. All the cool kids will be there.
Great idea Street.
Thank you, lolo.
Speaking of b yo, does anyone know if he’ll be spinning them funky beats tonight? I need my fix.
if its Wedn… he’ll be there.
