[1]On Friday July 11, 2008, the new iPhone was released for sale. On the same day, US federal regulators took control of Indymac Bank. (Read more about that here [2].) Today (Monday July 14) the lines were long at both locations. At the Apple store a homeless looking man yelled at the crowd “Get out of our neighborhood!” at the Indymac Bank line, there was a cop car out front and a taco truck in the alley next to the line.
Only six blocks apart. Strange days indeed.
