Sit, sup and surf while the dining room's open-but be careful otherwise

McDonald's
6406 Troost, Kansas City

In the interest of public service-since it's now obvious Google won't be able to ride to the rescue of those still on the wrong side of the digital divide as early as had been hoped-we've resolved to make an effort to find hotspots in the affected areas that we may have missed up until now.  Feel free to let us know of any you're aware of and we'll check them out as we go.

Anyway...this one's pretty much a standard local McDonald's, Wi-Fi wise-i.e., plenty of comfortable seating but no power outlets, so charge up before you come.  You also might want to take a seat towards the interior early in the day, as the building faces east and has the standard big unshaded windows.

Oh, and one more thing.   This, unfortunately, is the location where this happened, so I'll reiterate my admonition, hinted at in the title, that perhaps you shouldn't hang around the parking lot during drive-through-only hours-especially with a laptop out.
