The same type of urban development is a threat to some of the nicer historic districts near the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Anyway, congrats Chris & Tornado Crew on the new place and can't wait to see what it looks like!

I've worked with a company for over a year now in a different part of the US and I've never even met them in person. I have a great working relationship with them and they have no overhead, so I can charge a better rate. A lot of people argue it, with the pros and cons of working face to face, but the truth is if you can assemble a great team, and people can always meet their deadlines, the old traditional office is dead.

Though I'm sure it didn't help that the owner of our company was a raving lunatic ;) Before things went sour though, it was great to have a lot of objective developers and people around for input on our projects, and help solving problems!

I'm glad you guys finally found a place that fits. I wonder how much time you invested into this decision. It would be interesting to see what the value of that time would have been in billable hours. On second thought, maybe you don't want to know! ;-) Congrats!
