Small talk isn't one of these, however. "Third spaces" (guided meeting place that's relatively loose and not work or home) are sorely missing because running one is not very profitable.

By the way, pubs aren't one of those really, as they're too unstructured.

"Third spaces" don't have to be (and preferably aren't) commercial spaces where monetization is expected.

I'm not sure what you mean by "third spaces", then.

They mean church.
