Third Places

Orton Family Foundation

Your "first place" is home, where you kick back and relax. Your "second place" is work, where you probably spend most of your time. But where's your "third place?" If you're lucky, your town has plenty of third places to choose from - the corner coffee shop where you can nurse a latte all day, a neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name, a library, a church, or a park. On this recording you'll hear why third places are crucial to strengthening your town's economy, community, and culture - and how you can help to build them. Featuring Karen True, Business and Community Development at Alliance for Pioneer Square and Mike Knutson, President of MAK(e) Strategies. Call recorded on September 13, 2012.
