What social venues? We don't have clubs anymore. There's no young men's club I can go to like my grandfathers.
Where I'm sitting, there are no social places, just corporate hellscapes. You're correct, mom and pop is gone. But it's replaced by big chains, who want you in and out and give nothing to their community.,
Restaurants, cafes, bars and night clubs, courses, all styles of workout places to name a few.
Personalized and interesting is the name of the name of the game. Big chains have been stagnant or even reducing for a while now here.
There’s also an endless list of non profit organizations where a good cause and the social interactions are the goal.
But I can very much see that the old school genderized social clubs are dying. That niche is dead with our less segregated modern generations, and it is good that it is.
More bars and restaurants over all but each sees less traffic still means more people going out than before.
Take any European city. The old core of specialized shops and people working trades has been replaced with social venues.
