Net links spread
Libraries join Wi-Fi trend
Free wireless access began popping up downtown about three years
ago, when Dave Olson and Jacob Stewart launched Zhonka Broadband.
They were looking to join with cafes to provide free Internet
access. They started out by asking merchants they knew.
“People said ‘What are you talking about? Who's going
to use it? This is nuts,' ” Olson said. “But they
said ‘OK.' ”

A window cut into the kitchen of Clubside Cafe next door serves
breakfast, burgers and sandwiches. Philly cheese steaks stood
out, particularly with Cheez Whiz, grilled onions and peppers
(hot and sweet); 6-inchers $5.95, 12-inchers $9.50. Spend extra
buck for fresh-cut fries.

Eastside patron Ed McPherrin (left) thanks Kenny Trobman, who
helped put out the laundry room fire Tuesday night. "It was
incredible," McPherrin said. "This guy came through
like a lighthouse in a storm." Trobman owns the neighboring
Clubside Cafe, which reopened eight weeks ago after being closed
for nine months because of a fire.

| Promoter loves the music
Curiosity over backstage work drove career
Kenny Trobman, owner of the Clubside Cafe in Olympia, is one of
Henley's supporters. His restaurant feeds the bands Henley brings
into town.
"She's such a hard worker; she puts in a lot of time and
effort," Trobman said. "She is constantly working. Whenever
I see her, she's trying to put together another show."
