Eclectic Cyber Cafe

Owner: Sarah Wright

A dusty chalkboard next to the entrance details the services inside; $5.00 an hour for use of a computer [including internet service and LAN capabilities], Coffee starting at $1.50 a cup and other snacks available provided you keep your area clean. Actually heading inside drenches you in a dark red light, a bored looking woman reading a computer magazine behind a desk nods her head towards the open back room. Tacky black and orange carpet covers most of the floor, spotted here and there with years old soda stains.

Low murmurs buzz throughout, spiked every once in a while by a cry of triumph of a low groan of defeat. Rows of glowing computer screens provide the only clear light in contrast to the bleeding red from the tubed lights overhead
