what do you mean by a 3rd place?

A place to hang out and be social that is not home or work

sociology idea, essentially that you have a 3rd place outside of home and work to spend your time, meeting people, grow as a person, make connections, etc.

colleges have that, in the form of libraries, student unions, cafeterias, etc. where you can hang out while not sleeping in stuffy dorms. same idea, but for the average person working a job and living life.

Starbucks famously positioned itself as a 3rd place, and also famously dialed that back.
