I hadn't thought of this before but twin peaks mall might work for a short term space.
A pop- up hackerspace.... :)

Regarding properties seen to date, (not including the Mall), I would have to say I like the Boston Ave / (Nixcavating) site best. It has a private entry, two finished, insulated heated rooms in the front (for meetings, classes, outreach education etc (especially in winter)). Clean bathroom, couple of closets, wired for net. Carpet can be pulled from one or both offices as needed (per the owner). It has a large shop space in the rear with OH (overhead) doors. Plenty of power. A rough, unfinished storage or overflow space above the finished spaces. Secured, fenced rear yard. The building/site is owned/shared by an excavator with lots of his own heavy equipment as well as tools, welders, winches, etc. etc. Owner is a "creative" and interested in the Makerspace concept. Could have some synergy with his businesses. Exactly what space is available is a bit unclear as it was shown by an employee after hours, and the space was previously divided in different ways for previous tenants. Actual space available, yard space use/access, parking, lease rate, etc. and a bit more would need to be discussed in greater detail if there is any interest in this space. - Am out of town for a week - see you in July.
My personal inclination, and the group that attended the meeting last night (about 15 of us) is the following:
- Say yes to the Mall space. (big one). $500 is cheap. Do it now and get started on collecting gear and making the TinkerMill entity real (on paper and in the real world)- Say yes to the City and, when they come through, move from the mall space (could be 3 weeks from now, could be 3 months, either way, no lease on the mall space, no downside other than having to move).- Hold off on commercial space until 1) we see what the city offers and 2) we see what happens with the Old Mill property.Thoughts? Input? Agreement? Rebellion?
