WIFI: Lickity Split

Wow. Forget the wifi, this root beer frozen custard I'm eating right now at Lickity Split in El Segundo is good.

Really good.

And a cup was a touch over $2. And the wifi works great. Simple to connect, really responsive.

If only it wasn't so far away...

Oh, wait, they're actually opening two more locations, one of which is in Hollywood, easily accessible via the Red Line.

I love that wifi is no longer the exclusive domain of the coffee shop. I'm not in a coffee mood right now, but a little frozen custard hits the spot just about perfectly.

Downtown El Segundo is a lot nicer than I had expected, too. Parking is everywhere, and it's got a nice small city downtown feel.
