Believe it or not, this isn't an April Fools joke (unlike last year's post about selling to Regus Exec Suites). If you follow us on twitter (or visited any day since Monday), you've already seen our new site. After nearly 2 years, we've done some spring cleaning. We completely re approached our

Hi all I've just opened up a new coworking space in Asheville (htp:// locomotivity.com). Right now I've got a decent wifi setup with both an encrypted and unencrypted network. No splash screen or anything like that - you just connect and you are good to go. I'm curious about other coworking

Alex, kudos on the new site - looks great. I especially like that you kept it all within the IndyHall community, we did the same with Gangplank's site (http://gangplankhq.com) and having everyone throw a hand into it really helps people feel ownership. Chris Conrey chrisconrey.com Human-Geek

Oh, I have a game called 'Tawdry Trivia' It's adult trivial pursuit and was developed/sold by a local Orlando guy. I know he still has stock that he never finished selling if any of the other coworking offices want to buy a copy...not sure what the prices are, but I can find out if you are

We just have an encrypted network and the key is written on the whiteboard. Though recently we've been discussing getting a bigger antenna and focusing the signal at one of the bars downstairs so we can continue coworking during happy hour ;) - Eric Marden CoLab Orlando 37 N. Orange

When I worked in San Diego (Sorrento Valley), we had a lady who'd come to our office and sell the most kickass tamales you could imagine. For weeks we bought from her individually until one of us suggested that we pool our orders. One bigass order each week meant that (a) the tamale lady had

Ask the members of active coworking spaces if they have experienced any of the following: - More efficient use of time due to readily available help - Collaborative opportunities to take on larger/different/better projects than they could have without a diverse set of skilled coworkers nearby -

Hey Trevor, I operate the Ravenswood Coworking space in Chicago. Our office is nowhere near downtown, but it is, however, located near 2 train stations. Yes, we definitely miss out on the downtown clientele. But we're not targeting those people, and quite frankly, do fine without them. They
