Wow! talk about a blast from the past. I haven’t heard anyone talk about Oldenburg’s theories in at least five years. I always found him a bit too nostalgic for the good ol’ days that may or may not have actually existed. But, if you like Oldenburg’s thoughts, you should check out a book that came out a couple of years after The Third Place, Robert Putnam’s Bowling Alone.
And, for what it’s worth, I think for a growing number of people, especially the younger demographics, their third place is online…

Can’t wait to learn more about “Where’s Your Third Place?” Great potential for reaching folks who are searching for community and a place to “belong.” We’re so blessed to live in this community. It has much to offer and is close enough to urban centers if one needs more occassionally, but most of all it is small enough for a person and their family to have personal, lasting connections. Keep up the good work!
