Quoting Jeremy Turner [email protected]:
My favorite is the Starbucks in downtown Lawrence. They do the T-Mobile hot spot thing, but there's an open access point nearby, I think in the hotel across the street.
I can't say for sure, but I doubt it's The Eldridge Hotel. I know Free State Brewery has an open access point. I've seen a blurb for free wireless access on their table tents.
If good coffee is your gig, you should check out La Prima Tazza (sorry if that's spelled incorrectly), they are across the street from Starbucks and right next door to Free State. You may get a strong signal there and you can support a locally owned and operated business which will make the locals happy.
Then there's Henry's between Mass St. and New Hampshire on 8th. They have a Linksys AP above the bar. I'm not sure about the service or how it works or who it's affiliated with, the one time I went there to try and use it, I couldn't get it to work and the one person who knew anything about it was not due in for several hours.
Doubtless there are other spots in Lawrence, but this is KCLUG I've misspoken enough.
