Sand Dune Arch, located within Arches National Park is relatively small, by comparison to most of the other massive arches. Don’t be fooled by its stature of only 30 feet because the setting is quite spectacular! The short walk (.3 mile one way) takes you through a gentle sandy ravine, then through a dimly lit slot canyon, and finally opening to soft, fine, ankle-deep sand which sits beneath the arch. #sanddunearch #archesnationalpark #southernutah #arches #jenniferbaum
Skyline Arch, located within Arches National Park gets its name from its position on the horizon. The arch stands 77 feet high, and in 1940 a large boulder fell from it, doubling the size of the opening to its current size of 33 feet across. Fractured pieces of this boulder still lie at the base of Skyline Arch. It truly is a stunning sight, especially on a brilliant day when the reddish brown sandstone contrasts with an azure blue sky! #archesnationalpark #skylinearch #southernutah #jenniferbaum #hikearchesnationalpark

🔍 Read full #BookReview from Publishers Weekly here: "Just City: Growing Up on the Upper West Side When Housing Was a Human Right" by Jennifer Baum👇 📚 Book Spotlight: "In this poignant debut, filmmaker Jennifer Baum traces 80 years of U.S. government subsidized housing policy and draws on memories of her own childhood, when her family benefited from a government-built affordable home. In 1967, Baum’s parents purchased an apartment in a limited-equity, racially integrated, cooperative building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. They joined a diverse community of owners that together managed the building, where everyday experiences were defined by a sense of “collective action,” and where daily existence was characterized by diverse friendships, political talk, and spontaneous encounters." After Baum moved away from the city in the late 1970s, New Yorkers’ relationship to housing began to shift. As restrictions on the resale of coop apartments expired, many cooperatives allowed their buildings to become privately owned; meanwhile public housing for the poor was starved of funds and open-market rents soared. The result, according to Baum, was that regular people no longer were custodians of their own housing, and the ultra-rich took over the city, replacing local color and collective decision-making with “chain stores and banks.” Baum excels at capturing the allure of interdependent, close-knit communities, and affectingly joins her lament over their decline in New York City with her grief over the deaths of her parents. Informative and nostalgic, this makes for a bittersweet look at a time when America’s cities were affordable. 📖 Order your copy today: www.fordhampress.com #JustCity #JenniferBaum #UAA2024 #urbanaffairsassociation #nychousinglottery #Affordablehousing #urbanhistorychannel #HousingRights #BookRelease #ReadMoreBooks #NewYorkCityHistory #ReadUP #fridaynight #upperwestsidenyc #70slife #60slife #bookstagrammer #nycmemories #nycreads #newyorker
It's no secret that Covid-19 has forced the restaurant world to rethink operations entirely. And in yesterday's #IndagareFutureofTravelSummit session on the Future of Food + Wine Travel, we got an inside look at what moderator @baumjennifer calls the New Now ("because who knows what normal is?"), and what might lie ahead for the restaurant industry. One thing that's clear, according to @howiekahn: "This time of tremendous introspection and gloom and doom and change is also a time of tremendous innovation and finding new ways to go forward." @sachsmo agreed, citing examples from other panelists as well, including the growing trend of foraging in @visitsweden, or the hyperlocal #CooktheMountain programming in the Dolomites from @hotelrosaalpina's @st_hubertus_restaurant chef @nniederkofler. @peninsulahotels chef David Joo loved how quickly restaurants have adapted with their own version of takeaway options as well. How will it work in the future? @sachsmo is optimistic: " I think the ongoing post-Covid world is that the food world gets more interesting."
