9-5 seems a bit rigid to me. I can spend all day at Borders or Starbucks, and it would only cost me zero dollars . Better yet, I can just stay home and avoid the hassles of having to pack up every night. On top of that the Asbury Park location in itself is plenty of reason not to want to go in the first place.

If you are going to provide a co-working space, find some value for your clients.

One more thing..would you pay $20 per day to go use some space in Asbury Park? the answer would be a resounding NO for most people, so you simply have to come up with something other than just the space to attract people.

For people unfamiliar with NJ, Asbury Park has a reputation for being a "high crime area" , whether its deserved or not, I have no idea. The actual situation may also have changed, but for me and a lot of other people, Asbury Park would not be number one on the list of places I want to go and hang out.
