If you want a Grandville-ish location, how about the Panera Bread on
44th street? They have reliable wifi, good food, and lots of space
including an upper story that's a bit secluded from the rest of the
place. <br>

Already have a recurring calendar event on Wednesdays that
runs until about 9:00pm that involves a group of other people,
which makes it difficult for me to reschedule. Monday and
Friday nights both have time slots already filled by recurring
events as well. Plus, many churches hold services on
Wednesday nights, so I'd think there will be a number of
people unable to attend due to that. For me, the current
Saturday time slot works really really well, but if those are
out, Tuesday and Thursday nights would both work.</font></div>

Well that sucks. I've been looking
around and apparently most places
close at 9PM. So far the best
non-bar location I can find is The
Bitter End Coffee, <span style="font-family:
arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 13px; line-height:
18px;">752 Fulton St W, Grand
Rapids, Michigan 49504 . It's
open 24 hours.</span>
