[Coworking] Re: New CoWorking? Regus Business Lounge in Cupertino
Well, for those of us down the street from Cupertino, it will be interesting to see. We are getting many more coworkers without children in at CubesCrayons, so I wonder if this will be a positive for us or not. I will go check out the site and let everyone know my thoughts in the next week. -Felicity www.cubesandcrayons.com On Apr 15, 2:04 pm, Lisa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That was my first thought.
