Good feedback. Here's a few counter points to the ones you brought out.
1) If you spend the time at the beginning vetting the places, you tend to figure out the intricacies. Once you find 3-5 shops, you can pretty easily avoid the ones with spotty wifi.
2) I find it actually does the opposite - it energizes me getting up, being outside & moving every once in a while.
3) I find my "zone" ends up tapping out after 3 hours anyway. I don't know the last time I can honestly say I had a productive 8 hours of "straight" work.
As for your location, that's a valid point. I just moved to San Diego for the winter. I couldn't (or probably wouldn't) have done this in the winter in Chicago.
I don't know about not being able to do this in Chicago. We live in Uptown and I can think of six do-able work locations within a three block radius of my house. I probably wouldn't've ventured out on Monday and Tuesday, when we have severe windchill, but I _could_ have.
