Hey Greg! Coming in kind of late to the party here--I'm the owner of CAMP Coworking in Omaha and I know it's a drive for you but I encourage you to cruise down and try us out for a few days. We have desks, chairs, and a generally head-down-hard-at-work environment from 10-5. As it gets later, people tend to become more social. We have coffee, snacks, an awesome conference table and a separate lounge space in the building if you want to have a private meeting. We don't have a daily fee, we just ask for a donation.
Let me know if you have any questions. There aren't any coworking spaces further west or south so otherwise my best suggestion is coffee shops and libraries. xo meg On Jan 24, 11:45 am, Greg <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the info, Sheila.
