  What shall be                                                      
  the third place?                      The secular third place, that 
                                        is-- churches are still around     
                                        for those that want them.          
                                                                           
                                                                           
  The retail model is dying.

  It seems to me that the model
  of the non-profit community center
  may be the solution.

  A slightly different model:

      The "social club"?

  One might take Noisebridge
  as an example.
                                          So that's another model:
  It bills itself as a collective         the hackerspace.
  work space, but it's really a
  place for people interested in          Maybe including collaborative
  doing a certain kind of work to         arts spaces such as the
  gather.                                 "Rock Paper Scissors Collective".

                                                  And the (almost) late
                                                  and (usually) lamented
                                                  Cellspace.
