For the past two years, I’ve been hanging out at a wonderful little coffee shop in Ellicott City, Maryland called Java Grande.  I used to meet clients there, network, or just go to sit and get out of the office. Java had a “Cheers” like atmosphere that will never be duplicated at a chain coffee store.

That’s is the bad news.  The good news is that the owners are working on opening a new place that will be even better because it’s being formulated specifically for small business owners who want to connect with other sharp business people.  This place is going to be a business networker’s paradise.  I can’t wait until they’re ready!
