Starbucks (a bit tricky but worth it)
http://www.starbucks.com/
you need to buy a card with just a little money on it and set up a starbucks account online before you can use the free att wi-fi, which I believe is only good for 30 days but I'm not certain. I do know that you need to keep some money on the card so be sure to keep some on there.) Once you get your account set up, so long as you store your passwords on your computer, it's easy to log back on. It's just tricky to set up the first time around so be sure to ask for help if you need it.
