Nobody Told Them The Diner Was Closing

In hundreds of small towns, there is a table — usually near the window, usually occupied by the same people at the same hour every morning — where the unofficial business of a community quietly gets done. These 'third places' are disappearing faster than anyone is tracking, and the people who gathered there are scattering into a silence nobody planned for. This episode asks what we actually lose when a community loses its room. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
