Menaul location pluses: nice curb appeal, good street view, price wise is a pretty scary:

  • We have a google doc of our desires for it to be negotiated with, we have up to the beginning of next week to fill it out.

Haines is the most HackerSpace-like place, its rough on the edges, ready to be hacked.

Charel is looking at another possible place downtown at first plaza, super un firmed no real details.
