Sort of a small place compared to Next Coffee though. Various restaurants and such nearby. Coffee Plantation at Westgate - Free and open wifi, remember doing ftp and ssh stuff while there once, accessible by Loop 101 and I-10 and surrounded by other cool things, like places with beer and food. PHX Public Library (Cholla Branch) at Ghettrocenter - Free wifi (no card required, I think), mostly soundproof conference room available for community use. Accessible via I-17. No food allowed, but the mall has food and also free/open wifi. -- david [.dh] huerta haystackproject.com --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
