Dowbrigade

Of course, no list involving something as mercurial and fluid as wireless
cyberspace could ever be complete, but we were disturbed and disappointed
to note that the latest list of Boston
area Wi-Fi hotspots from the Boston
WAG (Wireless Advocacy Group) included not a single node in Watertown.
Moreso, as we used one regularly.

Donohue’s of
Watertown, one of the best little sports bars we know, has had excellent,
free, anytime Wi-Fi for about 8 months now.  In addition
to being a block from our home, this bright and breezy pub has excellent
if standard bar food, a zillion screens of various sizes, and amazingly
polite patrons. A great place to hide out when Norma Yvonne is on the
warpath (like now).

We have emailed the WAG to update their
list. Any Boston-area readers knowing of
other spots not listed should do the same.
