The strange joy of having a third place

Posted by Carlos Vega

📍 Oakland , CA


A place that is neither home nor work where you belong. A cafe where they know your order. A bar where you recognize the regulars. A community garden. A climbing gym. A library reading room. Having this has changed my relationship with my city and with isolation. We were not designed to exist in just two places.
