Do you have a 3rd place in your neighborhood?

[jdubnyce]

Yup
Our house purchase criteria ensured that we would be buy in a neighborhood with a high walk score

Literally:
3mins to huge walking trail, man made lake, park/playground for kids
5mins to local strip plaza (small grocery, pharmacy, fast food, pet store, mom and pop shops)
10mins huge community center, outdoor ball, splash pad, mini bike park
20mins large plaza (major grocery, liquor, banks, restaurants/bars, doctors office, etc)

Have kids, couldn't imagine having to drive everywhere. Need places to walk to

Kinda hard to answer this thread as an NYC resident....


Central Park for example could be considered a 3rd place but most ppl socialize within their social group. Bars are probably the best 3rd place in NYC IMO, as strangers are interacting.


Canarsie has Canarsie Pier with ppl fishing and such, so I guess that can be considered a 3rd place.

damn suburban life looks depressing as hell

 

[Techniec]

Ya the local plaza, me and the boys still link up in our cars, grab coffee etc

damn suburban life looks depressing as hell

That’s why their kids grew up to shoot up public places

3rd place taking over since the 9-9 and 2000s:

The internet or how we can all be lonely together now

Sometimes it trips me out when I think about the fact that I'm sitting here tapping keys and you're sitting there reading words on a screen. Disconnected yet connecting, ain't that some paradoxical ish? Its like the net breeds a special kind of isolation under the guise of community when in...

You know what the next 3rd place is going to be for the new kids on the block?

The human form as they'll be jacked in from the moment they're born...

Really insightful video. Sorta. I live across the street from a beach which is s decent third place in the summer. But that's just one season.

Canarsie Pier is a dope spot. All the old heads fishing, Mr. Softy always in the cut. I used to bike there on the Belt Pkwy path. When I was living in Bk, my bike was my 3rd place weather permitting. I still bike but I'm limited as to where I can bike where I am now and it gets boring biking the same shyt over and over.

But back to the point of the thread, I haven't had a 3rd spot as in a place since forever.

Have met a ton of people at the kids park on my block and made some really good friends there.
Would not be appropriate to hang out there though if I didn’t have kids.

Riverbank state park between April-September is good money.

Not to be confused with riverside park.

They got security to keep the homeless nikkas out

Big pool

Skating rink with fit bad bytches in it

Sprinklers if you got kids

Basketball court.

Track.

GOAT’d park and third place for Harlem residents.

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

For me no. The guy made very good points in the vid.
