Ooh, that looks awesome. Anybody have any similar suggestions for D.C./Arlington? I'm moving there soon, and while I'm still unemployed, I may as well find a gorgeous place to hang out and work on job apps and programming projects.

Yeah, if you hit the coffee shops, watch out for guys trying to recruit you into web-based pyramid schemes.

You can usually identify them by very generic terminology about internet business and (seriously, every one of them) a paper planner.

Yeah, and annoying Quixtar drones. Grrrr.

Hmm. Thanks for the tips. I had no idea there were scammers who preyed upon coffee shop patrons. Maybe they're taking advantage of the relative southern friendliness of D.C.? I don't think that sort of thing exists in Portland (my last digs), a friendly, but still very northern, city.
