Any recommendations for free or inexpensive place?
Places I can think of:
Coffee shops
Breweries and pubs
Libraries
Parks
Small scale music concerts
Axe throwing
Malls
University campuses



The wealthy class (in business and government) actively work to destroy places like this because these are the places where low income folk assemble in larger numbers… Where they can discuss unionization, political dissonance and find common ground despite previously perceived differences.
From local data, most of my third places got beat-up by social media + covid.
