Reply to comment by Cloud_Disconnected in Any good places for a first date in Branson? (preferably a park or some place to walk around in) by [deleted]

You're skipping over the part about the need for third places. That bit seems more relevant to the conversation. It's fair to notice that a community craves certain kinds of spaces. And car dependency does influence the kinds of spaces we get to experience and choose between for first dates.

Right, I did not address third spaces because that part of the comment was relevant.

Let me draw your attention to two sentences in the initial comment that are what I specifically was taking issue with:

> The Ozarks have been destroyed in favor of car dependency when what the people actually want is more walkability!

And:

> In the age of loneliness, everyone is craving more of these third places where life can happen and moments/memories can be created outside of a car!

Removing those two sentences would have made the entire comment on-topic. As I said, I don't disagree with these ideas in general. In fact, there's a 7 Brew post up now that would be a great place to bring up these topics.

Edit: Ha! I just noticed that it was you that posted about 7 Brew.

Edit 2: I noticed that the second sentence I quoted contained the reference to third spaces, so I bolded the portions I thought were off-topic.

I just skimmed your history and realized we have been responding to each other a bit. On your bass pro sign post and your old 7brew post.

Interesting. I recognize a few usernames here, but it's usually people who either post a lot or are particularly obnoxious. Or if they found Dave the cat, that one stuck in my head for some reason. You didn't really fall in to any of those categories, but I'll probably remember you now. See ya round!
