If you're going to take advantage of the events and networking with others at 1871, then it's worth it.

If you're just looking for a place to work on nights and weekends, there's plenty of excellent coffee shops around our beautiful city that you can use instead.

What about in the western suburbs? I usually go to Starbucks but I'd like to try perhaps some local places out.

In the suburbs, the public library is usually a great bet. The Oak Park public library was a fantastic working space for my last startup.

For further northwest, Gail Borden in Elgin and the Schaumburg library (forget the name, but it's won a lot of awards) are good as well.

The Arlington Heights Library has some good resources as well, if you're looking for NW Suburbs
