    When more of my friends lived a walkable distance from me it was more the pub round the corner a few times a week. Now people have dispersed a bit, things need to be a bit more scheduled and so we’re less likely to fall into a default place

    Coffee shops sadly don’t tend to be open late so they’re not really gonna work as the default place to casually meet mates for anyone in a 9-5 job IMO.

      I miss my 24-7 coffee shop! I got to know so many people and still have some great friends from hanging around in the mid aughts to teens. Since COVID the trend seems to be closing earlier. I’m not into it.
