You're listening to the Apple Insider Podcast.

Welcome to episode 94 of the Apple Insider Podcast.

I'm your host Victor Marks and joining me is the esteemed Daniel Erindelcher.

Hey good morning from the other side of Los Angeles.

Yeah, it's a weird coincidence that we're in the same town for once more or less,

and, you know basically an hour's

you say town and it's kind of like where there's several cities between us

actually Los Angeles if you've never looked at the map Los Angeles, if you've never looked at the map, Los Angeles is a name that covers kind of a giant

sprawling area, right? Right. There's Los Angeles itself and there's Hollywood which is a separate thing and there's Beverly Hills which is a separate thing but you know you say LA and you basically talk about this huge giant region.

And so I'm on the very far east side of this thing.

And Dan, lucky him, is over near Santa Monica.

Yeah, I put some pictures that was without riding my bike in Santa Monica on one of these beautiful days out here on the beach and I went past the third street promenade store, promenade, how do they say? Yeah, I'd seen it before but it's one of their

flagship stores with the front is all glass and the entire ceiling is glass. I think there's a building like that in Chicago as well.

Yes. But it's a spectacular building.

Yeah, so you go down there and this is an interesting part of town. So there's this, it's a street that's been turned into a walking mall

basically and on the right side of the street is you're coming from one

direction is the Apple store and on the opposite side of the street is a Verizon corporate store.

And so you have this interesting kind of juxtaposition of the Apple store with its elegance

and its beauty.

And the Verizon store is not bad either.

The Verizon store has a great focus on Internet of Things products.

So you have works with Nest and Home Kit and cool stuff like that in there.
