Is there a word for a place where people frequently come in contact with one another? This is like an intersection but in the context of general habitable places. For example,
[…]as I was running up and down to calm down my stupid dog so that
he won't go out and bite people and/or bring bring back a piece of raw
flesh and/or throw up a massive vomit somewhere __.
I was going to suggest shoulder-barge, but it seems that is slang. So instead, how about...
Defn: Charge at (a person or obstacle) with the shoulder first
e.g. She shoulder-charged the door, and found herself in a moonlit room
Although it probably implies something more like this...
than this...
If any kind of digital clock or calendar is in the picture, then rollover can describe this.
It needs a little context to make it clear: e.g. something like “Nominations open Saturday February 21, at the rollover” may not be understood by all readers, but “Nominations open at midnight, on the rollover from Fri 20 to Sat 21” should be well understood, as should “Nominations open Friday night, at the rollover from 11:59 to 12:00”.

The words "busy" or "bustling" fill in the blank in your example sentence, or they could be used in combination with some form of "public place" to fit your need.
