I am the king of Hot Spots.  First, if you go to Panera Bread, they
always have a good and free hotspot.  Many McDonalds' have inexpensive
hotspots.  If you get close enough to many hotels, you can pick up their
signal for free.

They have a hotspot detector that will let you know when you are in
hotspot range without having to turn on your computer.  It will tell you
if it is free or not.  

Getting Wi-Fi from a neighbor is not stealing.  Legally, if he wants to
prohibit you from using his connection, he has to secure it otherwise it
is free.

General places that cost money are 

Borders and Barnes and Nobles
Starbucks Coffee

Many gas stations, that is right, offer free wi-fi.

Get yourself a $35.00 detector and you can always find a hot spot. 

BTW, do a google search for Wi-Fi of Hotspots and you can find many
around the country.  The problem with the sites is that they are not
always up to date.  Hotspots are growing so much, that it is impossible
to keep up with.  I have picked up signals where there should not be a
signal.  

Welcome to the world of Wi-Fi.  Believe it or not, I am a hotspot
junkie.  

Just remember, Wi-Fi is not as secure as cable which is less secure than
dial-up.
