WHAT'S YOUR THIRD PLACE?

Do you have a place where you go to be among friends and away from the cares and restraints of the everyday world?

Is it a coffee shop, waffle hut, fast-food joint, bar, bistro or park bench? Are you comfortable there among friends? Is the conversation carefree and challenging? Are strangers welcomed into the group with little ado?

If so, it's a Third Place - a haven to which you retreat from the woes of the world. Tell us about it - its name, where it is and why you like it. We'll visit some of Roanoke's Third Places and tell our readers what makes them so alluring.

Send your nomination to Third Places, Features Department, Roanoke Times & World-News, P.O. Box 2491, Roanoke, Va. 24010-2491. Or phone 981-3324.
