Thanks for the great article to start my day. I love both of these third places. I am currently living in a rural area without easy access to either type of locale but make the time to visit whenever we go to larger metropolitan ateas.

In the UK most provincial bookshops have limited floor space and consequently they're filled with books and have nowhere to sit and chat or have coffee. I love going to the larger stores but I don't think they get the vibe quite right - they feel more like franchises that just want to make money rather than relaxed conversational spaces. I think your take on third-spaces is wonderful. We need more of them in our high streets.
