Not a dumb question at all. I just checked on the TARGET website. They have a store locator. Looks like there are none in MA, NH, VT, ME, CT, or RI. BUT!

Count me in too! I'm likin' this robotic stuff. And, um, don't eliminate The Construction Site as a possible meeting place yet. They haven't ruled it out. two blocks from a commuter rail station too. If we coordinate ourselves, that'd be a big plus. (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

I think we should look for a meeting place. They didn't sound too interested or available right now. Do you think any libraries or schools would be open to us? I'm really drawing a blank for ideas.
