They make plans and meet up at diners, movie theaters, the mall, the various town center/shopping areas, boba or coffee shops. They go to each other houses - but not randomly. They talk with each other and then make transportation arrangements. If they were out somewhere and another teen was also there, alone, it would never occur to them to talk to the other person.
Think of it as a "friend date." They do activities to meet other kids, they go out with their friends to spend time with their friends.
I have one of each. It’s very different. DD is constantly making plans and asking for rides. DS sits in a room on a computer and looks at me blankly when I suggest he meet up with the friends he’s talking to online and says something like “why would we want to do that?” He sees others at practice but doesn’t seem to have the constant need to hang out in person. I know not all teens are like this but my two are.
Quoting myself. My daughter has gone out two different times with two different groups today. She just left for the second time. My son just emerged from the computer room to say what a great day it’s been, because he hasn’t had to do anything. He hasn’t gotten dressed. We spoke for a min and he said how the year was so busy and he is loving not having to go anywhere or do anything right now. I understand that too. Both are teens.

This. My 14 year old & her circle are the same. I do lots of driving and picking up.

You're insane
Sure, just direct the latest pedo to your kids' favorite haunt. Hope it ends well.
I am relatively sure that the pedos have already noticed that sometimes kids hang out at fast food places.

my 15 year old son hangs out in the neighborhood with friends. They all go to different high schools but have been friends since elementary school. They walk around and do random stuff.

My teen boy does a lot of online gaming and chatting with friends and occasionally meets friends at the movies. They never go to each other's houses, which seems so different than when I was that age.

I don't think kids hang out at places. I see kids at the mall, movies, soccer/football fields or the skate park but they are usually in groups already.
I have two boys.
Almost 17 year old - Mostly stays home but occasionally local pool, gym, soccer field and PT job.
14 year old - "hangs out" online with friends, occasionally the pool and football practice everyday. He also goes outside occasionally and meets up with 2 neighbors.
Summers a LONG for teens and parents....
