II think I have purchased each of my iPhones in a different city. I bought my first iPhone at the west 14th Street store in NYC, and iPhone 5 in New Orleans, my 6S on Long Island, my SE in Baltimore, my 8 in Charlotte, and my XR in Miami. I'm headed to Hawaii next week, but don't need a new iPhone or anything like that. However, I will certainly check out that Apple Store. Thank you for the suggestion, Mark!
