sgarcia+FollowWhat happened to 3rd spaces? a Meijer parking lot, a coffee shop, or a 24/7 dinerBack when I was younger, there was always a place to go when you didn’t want to be at home but weren’t at work or school. Sometimes it was a Meijer parking lot where half the town seemed to show up, other times it was a coffee shop or a 24/7 diner where you could sit for hours with friends, drink endless coffee and just hang out. These days I leave the house, look for somewhere to land, and it feels like there is nothing. Teens and young adults do not seem to be gathering the way they used to. Maybe it is just me noticing, but the sense of those casual meet-up spots feels like it has disappeared. #CommunityLife #Nostalgia #SocialSpaces #LifeChanges #Discussion #RetroVibes #PublicSpaces #Millennials 20Share
