Textile Center Building

Just as we thought the wild fires in southern california that started last weekend are over, the building next door (8th and Santee) started burning earlier afternoon. Below are some pictures taken from my window.

For those who don’t work from traditional offices, Blogdowntown had a useful article about wifi locations in the area.

If anyone need suggestions, see my comments on the article:

I usually spend about 2-4 days a week using public wifi spots as an office. Below are the places I’ve been to.

Wifi and power

- Lost Souls: sometimes not working, bad mobile phone coverage (at&t and t-mobile), bad a/c on a hot day
- Lot44 (they finally removed their banner adds)
- Central and Little Tokyo Library (but difficult to talk on the mobile phone without disturbing others)

Places with free wifi, but no power

- Santee Court
- Fiore Little Tokyo (free with purchase, which lasts at least a week)
- Little Tokyo plaza outdoor area – but but coverage is very weak
- 7+ Fig upper outside area
- Ralphs
- Omni Hotel (outside courtyard)

From other comments, two places I need to checkout are: Sip Tea and Blue Dahlia Cafe.
