cultural nostalgia in a place ive never been- its not just the language, there's an intangible here- a house that is a coffeehouse on a Christian school campus. Im experiencing nostalgia in a place ive never been because i recognize the potential that my life could have happened here, and i see the effects of looking through the lens of the life of a friend whose life did happen here. So he experiences spatial nostalgia, and i experience cultural nostalgia on his behaf.
