There's an "old fashioned" Barber Shop up here as well in the valley, with the red/white pole and old chairs built like tanks also. Rettro, they do hot lather straight razor shaves also. However, the couple of times I used it there were not a dozen guys getting shaves talking politics. I was the only guy in the shop. 2 Barbers waiting for customers. Meanwhile, the local Unisex Salon in the next strip mall has 5 cutters working.
Sure, there are still some old Irish Pubs around also, but it's a statistical thing. They also are relics, throwbacks to another era when people in a community actually met and talked to each other. Sewing circles and Bridge Clubs, go watch the Ponies run at the track or just hang at the OTB parlor. These things exist sometimes, but they're not part of the culture and way of life. People are much more solitary and isolated.
