Information Week is reporting that the city of Boston is considering whether to allow Apple to locate one of their retail stores in one of the more prominent districts in the city. Apple is eyeing a location in Boston across from the Prudential Center.

With the possibility of attracting hordes of people to the site, the design process isn't going as smoothly as the company would have liked. To be set in an area with older brownstones, the modern design associated with most Apple stores has already met some resistance.

According to the Web site: "Earlier plans for a striking glass faade store were criticized by Boston's Back Bay Architectural Commission."

We'll just wait and see how this plays out.
