#ThirdPlaces
Lobbies of all kinds tend to be natural #thirdplaces. If you’re already maintaining a high-quality space, why not serve some cocktails, coffee, etc, and put out some seating? Adds life + helps to monetize the space.

It was a tremendous fun to have been part of #sentosensations 2024. At the public bath house, featuring prominently in Wim Wenders’ #PerfectDays, we discussed #Tokyo-style #thirdplaces, what they tell us about the socio-economic condition of the city and the (im)possibility to design them.

I found out the most profitable businesses post pandemic has been:
1. Coffee/Cafes
2. Chicken Tender spots
3. Carwashes

Culinary and detailing interests aside the fact that we are seeing a rise of coworking places futher shows the demand for thirdplaces and remote working .

#todayspublicspace Corner Stores. I’ve been thinking more about the role they could play as community meeting place, beyond its primary utilitarian function. Happens still along country roads, not so in urban ‘hoods. A way to breathe in new life/purpose, whether old or new structures. #thirdplaces

Hive Mind:

What are some popular chain restaurants that people often use as #ThirdPlaces?

Obviously Starbucks; 24 hour places such as Denny’s (but less so than the past); I often hear McDonald’s and Applebee’s come up more than their competitors.

Any others?

The neighborhood pub. Sometimes it’s loud, sometimes contemplative, sometimes both. From debates to trivia nights, it can be a true third place, just like cafés, offering community beyond home and work. A vital piece of urban life. #urbanism #thirdplaces

Libraries are taking on more active roles as #ThirdPlaces, but there’s a limit to what they can do without compromising traditional functions.

But what about community centers?

Hive Mind:
What are examples of innovative community centers that serve as social gathering spaces?

Home is one place. Work is another. But it’s the third places that keep us human.
Still searching for mine. #thirdplacesmatter #thirdplaces #mindfulness

It’s 9:45 PM. After a super busy week, I’m out of the house for a solo break. But where to go? Went to the pool, and normally would spend a decent about of time swimming, but I’m tired. Where are the non-drinking, evening indoor #ThirdPlaces, #Fredericton? They add to #SocialValue + #community

My way to rebuild #thirdplaces and a culture of shared stories is through running Live Action Role Playing and Tabletop events with pay-what-you-can policies.

When an establishment has a wide arrangement of board games and/or books available for general use, it’s one of the strongest signal that they wish for people to linger and spend time there.
