| Wireless Locations In and Around Charlottesville, VA |
As a Social Princess, I often look for and wonder where I can get a strong and reliable wireless signal, comfortable seating, and options for beverages and/or nibbles. Conversations on Twitter have led to the creation of this list.
Thanks to Ron DuPlain and Kai Groner for making a Google Map of these locations! To view the map, click HERE.
If you have other locations you believe should be added to this list or corrections, please email the Social Princess, andrea@socialprincess.com.
A few notes on my list:
This is NOT in anyway an endorsement of one venue over another. This list is provided as a free service. I have not and will not receive any payment for promotion of these businesses. None of these companies are clients of MagniFire Marketing. Eventually, I would like for this to be interactive, so visitors can leave moderated comments and reviews of their experience. That's coming.
I use "Espresso" instead of coffee, as some places (eg Court Square) have coffee, but only the traditional drip-brew. Smoking will soon no longer be an issue. "Park" refers to free parking-variations are noted.
