3rd Spaces in the Upper Valley

Hi. I’m interested in learning about and discussing all the “3rd spaces” for adults (both young and old) in the Upper Valley (other than churches where you’re expected to follow a religion and cafe/bars where there is some expectation you would purchase something.)

Some pluses would be:

-not kid-centric… appropriate for adults of any age either without kids or with grown kids

-affordable, preferably free access

-Easily accessible to pedestrians and public transport

-not online, IRL only

What do you consider a solid 3rd space in your community? What type of 3rd spaces do you think we could use more of?

(Had to add flair to post and could not find relevant flair-I live here.)

Net metering rates in Vermont will freeze at the 2024 rate per kWh as of August 1, 2026.

as electricity costs continue to rise, solar production credits will not.

this will not only effect costs for homeowners with panels, but for everyone in the state— even those without solar.

Schools, businesses, and municipalities that have invested in solar will lose money on this— taxes and costs will rise for everyone.

those who have invested in solar and produce energy for the grid will no longer be fairly compensated.

if you have feelings about this, contact your representatives and puc.clerk@vermont.gov to let them know you’re strongly opposed. I know it’s past the deadline in the article but you can still communicate.
