the first "Work Only" coworking space
"Brad was also one of the founders of Citizen Space, the first "Work Only" coworking space." would obviously benefit from a citation.

"September 2006 until November 2006, they negotiated, dreamt, built, bought and created a space" from http://wiki.coworking.org/w/page/16583300/CitizenSpace seems to establish the data for Citizen Space. It seems like there were at least two other coworking spaces starting in the city I was most familiar with at the time, Vancouver:

Also, would the History section be improved if it was chronological?

Hey there,

The founders of Citizen Space were me (Tara Hunt) and Chris Messina. Citizen Space opened October 2006. We worked with Brad and others on a previous space, The Hat Factory, which opened in May 2006. But it was Chris and I who put our money and time into Citizen Space and grew it. I expanded it with my own money in 2009 with Hillary Hartley (Chris left at that point) and we sold it to Tobey Morning in 2011.

As I'm not a regular wikipedian, so I may get the rest of this wrong.
