Hi, Annalise here. Those of us who work from home still need to ditch the PJs sometimes and meet in person.
- Cafés are great, but it can be surprisingly difficult to book an affordable conference room in advance when you need a quiet place to converge.
I recently went on a mildly frustrating quest for options when Axios' executive editor was in town, and now I'm here using what I learned to provide some options.

HomeBase, a community space and business resource center in Live6:
