The black curtains that shrouded the exterior scaffolding at the Apple Store construction site at the corner of Westheimer and Drexel in the Highland Village Shopping Center came down today, a reader reports. But a full reveal of Apple’s first-ever glass-roofed see-through-and-walk-through store — and (perhaps) whatever secrets lie below or next to it — will have to wait for a further strip-down: of the material still covering the all-glass front and back facades.

It will be quite sad when all this apple-esque architecture becomes homes to Einstein’s Bagels, Freebird’s Burrito Emporium, Subway, etc. in the years to come.
Why sad? It would be the best looking Subway, by far!
A glass roof in Houston? My, won’t that be pleasant.
@kt2le: They said glass roofed – not open air. It will still be air conditioned, don’t worry. If they can keep Minute Maid Park cold enough to need a sweater during the summer, I’m sure they installed a HVAC unit or two for this place.
yeah – retractable rooves are the Future!
