There are many tables to use in the Victoria Public Market, if you’re a remote worker. The entire market seems to have good WIFI coverage, so you’ll have no issues connecting there. The pictured spot above is actually ripe for people-watching, so keep that in…

Decided to try a new patio space today, and enjoyed this stop at the Yates Street Taphouse. Plenty of elbow-room on this October afternoon – I had my Macbook Air set up here to do a bit of homework. IIRC, I was on the #TELUS…

I’d like to issue an honourable mention to this space at Vista 18, on top of the Chateau Victoria Hotel down on Burdett Street. I don’t work from here often, as this is typically an after-hours place to hang out – say, a Happy Hour…

I haven’t spent many working hours at this location since the before-times. Back in those days, I’d spend night-hours here, along with a bunch of students and entrepreneurs that turned the place into an evening study hall. After all, they had all the coffee you…
