 I don't see the draw.

If it's not raining here, it's hot outside -- very hot and very humid. Who wants to sit outside in the 100 degree heat and use their laptop? I see plenty of people walking the downtown streets, but I don't see any benefit whatsoever from Free Wi-Fi, other than easy access to the city's network on the meter maid's PDA...

Am I missing something?

True, but even then the weather isn't all that amazing except for a few days out of those months. This just seems like a waste of money to me.

Or the massive puddles that built up on the road. Doesn't Houston know the word drainage system to prevent water from collecting well, EVERYWHERE in deep standing puddles.

... Ya I hear come winter and 50 degrees, everyone here whines about it being cold. Just moved to this area from the north. I guess that won't be a problem for me, ay.
