New Coworking Space in Grand Rapids
Last night, Natalie and I attended the grand opening for The Factory, which is a new "community office focused on getting work done..." Mac Fowler, who is married to my friend Abbey, was a huge part of getting The Factory up and running. I was so happy to celebrate with them last night.
The space is located above San Chez, in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids. It is ideal for anyone who works independently and wants/needs to get out of their home office. The real benefit I can see about The Factory is having a space to use for client meetings. Since I work from my cozy home office, meeting with more than four people at once is difficult.
The Factory offers a daily drop-in rate of $25, and a monthly rate of $200. In includes WiFi, conference areas, desk areas, and more. If you're not in Grand Rapids, there are coworking sites all over the country - just check the coworking wiki for your area.

That sounds great. As a freelancer, I know how nice it would be sometimes to have an office and the community there every day. GR definitely needed an office like this. I find your blog so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Aletha!
