Any recommendations for free or inexpensive place?
Places I can think of:
Coffee shops
Breweries and pubs
Libraries
Parks
Small scale music concerts
Axe throwing
Malls
University campuses
Maybe I’m confused about the concept but it sounds like anything can be a third space? National Park, shooting range, center of a roundabout, random bench by the road…
Indeed, as long as it fits this
One criteria for a third place, according to Jeffres et al. (2009), is that it “offers stress relief from the everyday demands of both home and work. It provides the feeling of inclusiveness and belonging associated with participating in a group’s social activities, without the rigidity of policy or exclusiveness of club or organization membership”.
