Forget Starbucks, work at the library instead

I can think of a few reasons:

- Pets - TV - Fridge/Pantry - Kids/Wife/Husband/Roommates

Beyond that, there are many opportunities for your non-work life to interrupt your work life. It's a culture thing, being that there is absolutely no work culture at your home where there is one at a place with others.

I'm actually in the process of setting up a coworking facility down here in Atlanta. We're going to have two rooms to satisfy both camps: The Loud Room and The Quiet Room. Each caters to a specific goal and lets people use the space they want to without inconveniencing others. It's sort of a coffee shop next to a library. Best of both worlds :)

A coworking facility in Atlanta? I'd love to hear more.

I live where Midtown borders downtown and am a self-employed telecom consultant - basically a glorified one-man show.

Looks like you're right next door, if this is the Borders next to City Hall East :)

In the university library at METU in Ankara, Turkey, they had these separation as well.
