Brian Lear on WNYC and now we'll wrap up today's show with a call in about your third spaces.

What? What's a third space? Some of you know that term. It comes from Urban

Sociologist Ray Oldenburg's book called The Great Good Place. He describes it as

public places on neutral ground where people can gather and interact. It's not a new concept but there are new wrinkles

for this post-pandemic era. So listeners what do you do when your work day is over?

Where do you go and you're not at the office and you're not at home?

Where is your third space?

So if your home is your first space and your office is your second space, where is that third

space where you find community and socialize?

Are you an active member of your church Moscow Synagogue? Maybe you frequent a particular bar or coffee shop. We could cite the old TV show, Cheers, which was all those people's third space, right?

Is there a community center where you regularly meet new people

as well as catch up with other regulars?

212, 433 WNYC on where is your third space in 2024?

And I hope we get callers, we'll try to look for callers

of different ages, different generations,

different decades of life, because I think there is a lot of age

determinant third space differences these days.

212, 433, WNYC, if you're in your 20s,

do you have a third space?

If you're in your 50s, do you have a third space?
