I like that. That wasn't on my list but it's good. I was thinking something like "The Cube Lair" or "The Work/or Office/ Dungeon". I cant do free bc I am investing (by leasing the property) and building it out. All of the private offices will have small tv's in them, phones, etc. All of th other space will have phones, internet access, phones service, tvs, available monitors to use while there, coffee,fax/ print. That stuff costs me. I dont expect the place to be a cash cow but I do want it to pay for itself and (hopefully) have enough profit leftover so I can quit my day job and pay for my mortgage/car note while I go to lawschool.
