1. I’ve seen “Clearwire” free Internet stickers in the windows of Chiocca’s and Patterson Express, although I’ve never tried it out.

2. CanCan occasionally has it, but it’s really hit or miss if it works. Lately it’s been more miss.

4. Baker’s Crust has free wi-fi and so does Weezie’s, where you just have to ask for the code.

5. Once when I was desperate to watch a game online, I checked out a couple. Apparently you can occasionally get free wi-fi at NY Deli. Galaxy Diner has free internet, but it’s awfully smoky in there. Wheezie’s Kitchen was where I ended up. And Duke beat UNC. In case you were wondering.

6. Richmond Free Wireless has a node near 2000 W. Grace St:

7. Chiocca’s and Cafe Diem are pretty good. Black Hand Coffee too. I’m a big fan of the free wi-fi (being broke and all).

8. Goochland is looking at muni-wifi.

   Of course Richmond is a Verizon city, and would not dare think of something as progressive as that.

9. Interesting, “broke and all” but able to hange at Chiocca’s, Cafe Diem, et al. Ah well, priorities.

   BTW, Phillie and a number of larger cities have attempted to implement city wide wi-fi systems with very discouraging results. Seems some folks won ‘t give up their “triple Play” cable TV, internet, phone deals and prefer to pay $100+++ a month.

   Lots will say there is a security issue (easily overcome) and others a liability issue (some on soliciting or peddling child porn for example) which might me more or a detriment.

   When I lived in the Forest Hill Ave./Hugenot Road area until last May I had open access to my Comcast hi-speed for a couple of nearby neighbors. Comcast however was not amused.

10. Brown’s Island now has free wi-fi.

    Yo Carytown Merchant’s Association: What about free wi-fi throughout Carytown? Seems like a no-brainer.

11. The Science Museum has Wi-Fi in their Starbuck’s coffee shop.

12. The intersection of every two streets? Seriously, there is a ton of unsecured wireless in the Museum District.
