Sometimes I daydream about owning a Village Tavern or Inn that serves as a sort of “social crossroads” for the community. A place where food, drink, and conversation flow freely; where local stories are told and retold, the goings on of the different families and relations are discussed, and the relevant village issues are brought forth and debated.
Beautiful dream!
Well said and wise! This book was recommended to me a few years ago. Seems to relate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Good_Place_(book)
