Aahz Reviews Gilroy

Zaira recently bought herself a new laptop. Well, technically, I loaned Zaira some money so that she could buy a laptop. The deal included that the computer would remain in my possession until she had fully paid it off. So I’ve been taking advantage of this system since her laptop is significantly better than even my desktop, not to mention my laptop.

Part of my playing with it has been exploring connection possibilities in and around Gilroy.  According to hotspotr (a WiFi location directory), there’s only a single free Hotspot location in Gilroy.  In just my first morning of looking I’ve found four:

• First Street Coffee – 1211 1st St.
• COG WiFi – City of Gilroy(?)  Available both in the same shopping center as First Street Coffee, though stronger on the far side of the parking lot, near Togos.
• Safeway WiFi – 905 1st St – This network barely reaches past the building itself.  The tables out front get a great signal, but even the closest parking lots get a Fair signal at best.
• COG WiFi – In front of Grocery Outlet (727 1st Street).  I picked up a decent signal from various spots in this parking lot.  Perfect for lunch at Wienerschnitzel or breakfast at Gilroy Donuts.

I was really hoping to find one near South Valley Middle School so I could work while waiting to pick up Zaira from school, but no such luck.  Later this evening I intend to explore over by Gilroy Crossing.  Have you found any other free Hotspots or unsecured WiFi connections in Gilroy?  If so, I’d love to hear about them!
