One of my cousins cycled through New Jersey, New York, Vermont, and Arizona. The Vermont one was the best. IBM was short of space and had leased an old grocery store. It was low key with no big signs on the front so people would wander in looking for bananas. I know the feeling. Where I work had the same approach, just a street number on the building. There was a state office plaza down the street so people would wander in looking for the DMV, VA, and other random stuff. We started locking the doors as telecommuting meant not many people physically on site and the homeless perceived that as an invitation.
