“Cornell students fed 35 million Flickr images into a university supercomputer to determine the most photographed landmarks. The Fifth Avenue Apple Store is the fifth most popular in New York—beating out the Statue of Liberty!—and number 28 worldwide.”
Apple Store Cube Is More Popular Landmark Than Statue of Liberty | Fast Company
It’s not exactly a chart of doom, but the left & center images above indicate an interesting distinction: from an international symbol of freedom to a postmodern shrine to consumerism.
Granted, the Apple store wins the location game, given its spot in Midtown, the more popular area. Some could argue, though, that people would make the 20 min train ride if the Statue of Liberty was important enough.
