This just got me thinking, what would a third place look like in 2023? Social clubs used to revolve around shared heritage for the most part. But what would it take to start one now?

I'm not asking for you to answer this so much as I would love to spitball the idea and see where it goes.

My friend just mentioned that they were reading "Bowling Alone" By Robert Putnam and that seems like something that might be up your alley if you are interested in this kind of thing. It sounds like it might have some answers to your questions here (though, its from 1995 so not ultra modern).
