You may have heard of third places before, but in case it’s new to you, they’re essentially community spaces where you can chill & socialize…Like here, I suppose! But typically they refer to in-person community spaces.

Does your area of the world still have a number of these, or are they in the decline? Do you know if your in-person communities are trying to establish or renovate theirs to help people connect or reconnect with one another?

    I’ve known about the concept for a while but never really appreciated it after I stopped going to the gym. There’s like 7 houses around me being renovated, so to have some sanity I found a Starbucks nearby where I could spend a few hours a day. That’s my 3rd space for now.

      If you find yourself getting burnt out going there, you might check out your local library. Some nicer ones even have a café themselves!
