Your stomach can be empty, but your battery had better be full

Dairy Queen
400 SE Douglas, downtown Lee's Summit

As a reader reported in a comment added to my last post (and once more, thanks for the heads-up, whoever you are) this place is indeed unwired. Downside: There appear to be only one pair of available power outlets; they're on the wall next to the door on the Douglas Street side. Also, I don't think the table adjacent to those outlets would be an easy place to read your LCD in broad daylight , given that you're at the mercy of some rather big, close and unshaded windows (I'm here at about 6 p. m.). Upside: Unlike several other Lee's Summit locations listed in various directories, this one still has an open and unencrypted network. Good for them.
