Heading to the Gap on the second floor of the Willow Grove Park mall to buy some pants? Well, you may be disappointed to hear that you’ll have to walk to the other side of the mall — or you may elated because you're an Apple fanboy. As promised (written on the walls in the months leading up to the opening), the Apple Store opened its doors Saturday Nov. 17. The 8,300 square-foot store features everything that you’d expect in an Apple Store — all of the products, a sterile feel and a “360-degree Genius Bar” for repairs. An employee at the store said opening day was “crazy.” “The line was out the door and wound throughout the mall,” the employee, who refused to give her name, said. “It was pretty crazy, but it was awesome at the same time…

John Philip Sousa IV, great-grandson of the legendary band leader and composer, makes his first trip to Willow Grove.
There was a vague question being murmured by people sitting in the Willow Grove Park Mall parking lot Sunday night: “Which one is he?” “He” was wearing a pink shirt, a striped tie and a dark blue pinstriped suit. The outfit didn’t fit in with the members of the Allentown Band, who were mulling around the tent prior to the 7 p.m. concert time. That's because he wasn't part of the band—but he was kind of the main event. The man, from Farmington, Conn., was making his rounds in the parking lot; it was his first trip to Willow Grove. “They’re telling me stories about how their grandparents met at a Sousa concert —one lady told me she was 8 years old when she came to the first one, and how she still listens to the music and loves it,” John …
