What is JetModern?
Using the 30-day "All You Can Jet" pass from JetBlue, Seth Tinkham, a self-employed grant writer and preservation planner from Alexandria, Virginia, used the airline's sell-out promotion and its social media momentum to explore preservation efforts of American modern architecture. Within 30 days he visited New York City, New Canaan (CT), Boston, Portland (ME), Chicago, Houston, Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Orlando. He wandered neighborhoods with non-profit leaders, interviewed city officials and chatted with residents and homeowners. These interviews and conversations helped identify both immediate threats to modern buildings and successful policies and programs being used to protect and restore well-known icons and the everyday.
