What's a town square. -American /s
Suburbia hell doesn't install those. We have no public commons.
Thanks for your comment Deckweiss. To reply to your assumptions I'm not American and am definitely not young.
I'd be interested to hear about how your and your friends learn about local events without any access to the main channels that seem to be used by most venues, i.e. Facebook and Instagram, as I'd happily take some advice on this.
Also, as per my original post, it is not about meeting new people, that I have no problem with, it is about the inevitable conversation when they exclusively use WhatsApp to stay in contact.
