Ok so I went back and read the article. Good article, especially the photos. Meeting places are important. Costco wouldn’t be mine, it’s an hour plus through mountain passes to get there. I really wish it was closer. The meeting place I really miss is the little cafe where we lived in Maine called Doris’s. It was the Saturday morning place everyone went, it was always crowded, and you saw everyone. We went every Saturday, it helped us feel like we belonged to that tiny town with families that had lived there forever. Great food, lots of laughter. So important.
