[NetBehaviour] everyone respond to thread : where do you create?

i have a small desk that faces south in our apartment in LA (kind of 
east Hollywood), but we move frequently (about every 2 years) and are 
about to move again to the midwest US. i go to libraries quite a bit, 
as well as walking around to do "atmospheric" and visual research.
i do a lot of reading off line, either in the library, or on our couch 
with checked-out or bought books. i can take the subway to the central 
library in downtown.
but to get back to my current location... it's a cluttered desk in a 
one-bedroom apartment that is part of a four-plex building, probably 
from the 40s. it's green stucco on the outside. our neighborhood - 
we're outside in it a lot as i bike and we walk our dog twice a day, so 
i spend a lot of time thinking outside - is a largely spanish-speaking 
working neighborhood with lots of families. it's defined by very large 
commercial streets (Melrose, Santa Monica and Western) and a major 
freeway (the 101) and so is often pretty loud. my desk faces a wall, as 
windows are too distracting for me when on a computer.
