Local businesses with space a remote worker could pay to use for a handful of evenings each week?

Extreme-long-shot ask inspired by the recent post asking for places to read after hours:

I’m a remote worker, and I’m looking for a place where I can camp out and work for extended periods, primarily on the occasional weekday or Sunday evening from around 3pm to around 10pm, probably 2-3x per week. I’d need access to a table/desk, chair, and WiFi, but don’t require (or even prefer) a quiet space.

Basically a combination of ADHD, new team members in other time zones, and burnout have meant that I’m working pretty extended hours and will be through the end of the year. I’d love to have some of that time not be in my house.

I’m obviously happy to pay and to meet up for coffee ahead of time to make sure it’d make sense for your space! Feel free to DM me if you don’t want to post here.

If anyone has other suggestions, I’d love to hear them! I’ve worked at the Mill previously, but I’d like to find an alternative. Honestly as long as there’s consistent WiFi, a seat, and a flat surface, I’m most productive when surrounded by a little ambient chaos; so weird recommendations are very much appreciated, as long as I wouldn’t be overstaying my welcome somewhere that would be looking to turn over a table!

Thanks!

[PC - windows 95 or 98] [mid 90s to early 2000s] edutainment game with colorful 3D-ish aliens; not Thinkin’ Things

Hello! I’m looking for a game from the mid/late90s or very early 2000s that I only played a few times. It was similar to Thinkin’ Things Sky Island mysteries, especially the view with the castle in the clouds, but I remember there being multiple alien characters and the graphics being more 3D. I think it was most likely a free trial or secondhand, but I’m not certain. It’s also quite possible that I saw the cover of the Thinkin’ Things game and just imagined the rest, but I wanted to ask here before giving up!
Template info below. Thanks!

Platform(s): PC

Genre: Educational

Estimated year of release: some time between 1995 and maybe 2002. I think it was either older and purchased at a garage sale or received as a free trial. I think I was only able to play it once or twice before it either broke or expired.

Graphics/art style: Very colorful. I remember it being really 3D and realistic, but also my standards could have been low

Notable characters: I don’t remember

Notable gameplay mechanics: I feel like the animation from the main screen to the mini-games was panning across clouds/floating islands.

Other details: potentially a free trial
