The Last Errand You'll Ever Run

The dry cleaner that knew your name. The hardware store where someone walked you to the right aisle. The diner where you didn't need to order. We're living through the quiet extinction of the functional third place — the errand as social ritual — and most of us only notice it's gone when we realize we haven't had a spontaneous conversation with a stranger in weeks.
