Original titleThe Great Good Place: Cafes, Coffee Shops, Bookstores, Bars, Hair Salons, and Other Hangouts at the Heart of a Community
The "third place" is a place where people can gather and put aside the concerns of work and home. Third places are the heart of a community's social fabric, but, sadly, they are diminishing from our social landscape. Ray Oldenburg details the problem and presents a compelling argument for these places as essential for both the health of our towns and ourselves.
