Wireless Hot Spots Howard, Moline, etc.

[Roma Jean Turner]

I think we may have talked about this, but can't find it.  I know the Silver Bell in Longton where I will be staying Friday night doesn't have any internet.  Is there some place in Howard, Moline or Longton that does have wireless so I can check my e-mail?  If no ones knows of any place, maybe I can slowly cruise up and down the streets with the laptop on and see if I pick up anything...........   That might look suspicious from an out of state car. Ha, ha. Thanks

The high school has wireless - but I don't know if it's blocked outside the building. Haven't tried it.

We've got wireless - and are catty-corner from the park. Don't know how far out ours extends.
Our laptop is temporarily loaned out, otherwise I'd try it.

Does the library have wireless?

If you see a white Buick parked in your drive way, it's probably me.   I have been told that a lot of them extend out about 100-300feet.  If you don't need a password to get on the network, then anyone can access it if they are in the range.  The libraries here in town used to just leave their wireless on all night and never thought anything about it.  Then the police contacted them and asked them to shut it off when the library closed because they were finding so many people parked in their cars in the middle of the night in the library parking lots, that they were afraid it could lead to trouble.  The UPS stores here all have them and usually you can just sit in the car and access them.  Thanks for the info.

Roma,

I have wireless and you can sit in my driveway all you want.  I have tried it and it works.  I live close to the park also. And the library does not have wireless the last I knew.  Also, I know of a couple of places that also have wireless here in Howard, and I can tell you or show this Saturday when you are here. Better not release their name at this time.  See you Saturday.

[Roma Jean Turner]

Thanks everyone. See you this weekend.

I have wireless.. but I haven't checked it out either on how good the signal is.. So you can stop here if you need to also..
I am sure your e-mail will get checked one way or another..

Roma, while you are in Longton you may use mine if you would like.
I am at Longton Housing in apartment number 9.....Gwen can direct you.
If you are here in daytime.......1 to 5 on Friday..........the library has 3 computers you
could use.
Just drop in if you want. I should be home.

Not sure about the get-together. My nephew died yesterday and if they schedule the funeral for Saturday I will
attempt to go to it. Have a save trip.
Hugs and God bless
Judy

Judy,  So sorry about your nephew.  I also hope that you read that we have cancelled the picnic until later.

Judy, I'm so sorry to hear about the death of your nephew.  Did he live in Topeka?
