LOL maybe I should try that the next time I'm in your neck of the woods. If you're even in West Chester and you want access, go to the local Burger King in town right north of WCU. You will find at least 3-5 open wireless access points.

Not as far as I know (I don't think they would be, but I didn't go in there so I can't be sure), however, if you're in there, you should be able to pick up open WAPs whose signals bleed over into it. -- DRM == Doesn't Read MP3s

Is the AT&T office still across the street?

Yes... it is mostly private homes near there, but I believe they are student-occupied. And yes the CO is still across the street, although its Verizon now.
