I'm trying to get a Derby Street t shirt. I'm an Apple fan who used to live on a Derby Street (in a different city) so it would be neat for me to have one of these shirts. I'll pay (of course). So if you or anyone else reading your site has one you'd part with, please email me, my name at mac.com.</p> I came across your post from a google search. I’m trying to get a Derby Street t shirt.

I don't see the concept taking off here in MA due to the cold weather and the lack of available space to build such things. That being said, there is a shopping center with a similar layout in Millbury, MA just off the Mass Pike... I don't remember what it's called, but it has a bunch of those typical mall stores. The Wrentham Village Premium Outlets also have a similar layout, though they are factory outlet stores and not mall stores.</p> Matt: Compared to Digg and IFOAppleStore, you’re not going to get much traffic from me, but I am always happy to toss out a few links for this sort of thing.
