Buy Bowling Alone: Revised and Updated by Robert D. Putnam on Amazon

The Great Good Place
Buy The Great Good Place by Ray Oldenburg on Amazon
I knew you were going to either invoke Bob Putnam or Ray Oldenburg, who wrote *The Great Good Place* and talked about the loss of third places, so home being the first place, work being the second place, and we used to have all of these third places to which we would go like bowling leagues or churches, or pubs, or bookstores, barber shops, whatever that was.
Mike brings up the book *The Great Good Place* by Ray Oldenburg while discussing the importance of third places where people used to gather and socialize beyond home and work.
