As a community hangout near a major campus, it might work. But so many
people have broadband now, that the atmosphere would have to be as much

Another factor that would really help such a business, considering the
mostly male geek community, would be to make sure to hire some cute
college girls as barristas. You can call me a dirty old man, but there
are certain Starbucks that I like for that very reason. :-)
