This is an upcoming late-night cafe in Seattle. It looks pretty good,
but I live an hour away--the only 24-hour establishments are Safeway.
What 24-hour business do you hang out at?

Yep, our grocery store is 24 hour. Nothing is more peaceful than doing your grocery shopping in a totally empty store. 

I've tried going at normal times recently and it is just brutal.

Heh. I'm with Nicky. Shopping at 2 in the morning is great as long
as you can avoid the restocking stuff in the aisles. You get spoiled
by never having to wait in line at the checkout, and never getting in
a traffic jam. I sure don't miss that stoplight at Franklin and Eagle
during rush hour!

We don't have much here that is open all night. One grocery store and
a few gas stations... maybe the bar--not sure what time they close
since I don't hang out there much.

When I lived in Northern Idaho, some of us programmers used to work
late hours in the lab. The local policeman would drop by sometimes
just to chat. It kind of bothered us at first... didn't he have
anything better to do? But then we realized that he really DIDN'T
have anything better to do, and that was actually a good thing!

Yea in Canberra its a bit of a problem if the 5-0 dont have anything
to do. because there are always methheads on the street at all hours
of the night causing trouble for polyphasers. if only we had more 24
hour stores here. i would enjoy myself doing some late night shopping.
instead i gotta make do with a job that lets me nap and doesnt take up
daytime... doing the shelf stacking for late night supermarkets (they
do close at like 11 but all the stackers stay from 11 till 7 xD
OVERTIME!! 2xpay...)
