Starbucks, is all I can say. As long as you get a coffee now and then they’re cool with it.

Kinko’s is another option, if you don’t mind that they’re a bit run down and got quite bad chairs.

Libraries, hm depends, they come in all sizes and shapes, some of them are really nice places to be, some of them not so much.

I usually hang in a Starbucks in Barnes&Nobles, nice atmosphere.

Sorry for having to go off topic a bit

@saxon

Dear Saxon,
let me explain something to you. You’re whole poverty/Afghanistan/world in disarray blabla is nothing but a very fragile and thin mask you use to cover your personal deficiencies.

You are not being accepted, rejected in most cases, and I’d say you probably have tried to be heard many a time but it just doesn’t work.

That made you bitter. I think you despise being yourself, but then, there is nothing you can do about it, as of course you lack intellect, education, and mostly the willpower to do something about it, thus, you seek outlets for your frustration.

As a matter of fact, these issues that you decry, and that are certainly “big” issues are nothing to you but an excuse to slur your rants around, because I’m very certain that if called upon you couldn’t even name one Taliban stronghold, or name any US base. My bet is, if I gave you a world map, you couldn’t even point out any Middle Eastern country.

You are by far one of the most pathetic trollers I’ve seen so far, and you should really seek professional help.

Because you are the perfect raw material to make those angry idiots that become a hazard to society, which you are so obviously not part of.

Sorry about that :)

Well, I don’t know, haven’t been in London for ages. I think as long as you get your coffee every now and then it would be okay, wouldn’t it?

I guess nobody knows of more places than cafe and library, hmm :(

Lots of people spend all day in the Library in my town. I think I’d rather do that than haunt a cafĂ©, if only because I’d be denying a waitron tips/business by taking up a table. (I’m sure if you left a stunningly huge tip, though, that might be okay.)

You said Hyde Park and I thought you were in Chicago—I had some great ideas for you, but London? No clue.

We have a bunch of spaces that are basically hangout spaces in Chicago. We’ve got a few study cafes that are purposefully set up for kids to go and hang out or study.

A very casual French cafe/coffee bar with Jazz musicians drifting in and out to perform their own brands of ‘music to sup mocha to’. Delightful.
