11/17/2004 Entry: "Arlington Virginia Library Wi-Fi"

It pleases me that in Arlington, Virginia, my old home town, the library encourages Wi-Fi use in a friendly way: "Spread the word to friends and travelers! By using your laptop at the library for checking email, surfing the Net, and doing research, you are freeing up library Internet stations for people who vitally need that access." (Via Glenn Fleishman's Wi-Fi Networking News)

My high school Washington-Lee was just a block from the Central Library, so that was my after-school hangout. I have vivid memories of flirting with my high-school boyfriend there when we were first getting to know each other. Glencarlyn was the closest branch to my home -- I remember visiting there when it was in a converted house, around 1961.

I haven't been back since I moved here in 1988, but I have a few weblogs I read because the authors live in the DC area -- Drew McDermott and Jude's Project Without a Name.

I tried to post about Giffords a while back, but I couldn't find much about the place on the web.

Anita--
Washington-Lee? Glencarlyn? I'm JEB Stuart, '72. Remember Gifford's? The Seven Corners Hot Shoppes? We sure got far away from "the other Washington." --Cheers, Karen
