News Cafe, Anyone?

Doing a bit of shilling for my spacing_ottawa friends here.

Seems that during his prairie travels these past few months, my good editor Evan Thornton came across this little operation under the roof of the Winnipeg Free Press.

Here in Ottawa, the Presse Café under the roof of the CBC Ottawa Broadcast Centre comes close to matching it in terms of atmosphere, although there's enough wi-fi-equipped competition that perhaps it doesn't get used to the extent that it could be. Additionally, Evan notes some other factors in play that I didn't think of.

I wonder, though...CBC could have something really useful there.
