This new cafe definitely caters more to the wealthy tourists than to the average local. \u00a0After learning more about gentrification through\u00a0<em>Global Cities, Local Streets,\u00a0<\/em>I can better understand these processes that are happening in my own hometown.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_1164.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-816\" src=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_1164-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1164\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_1164-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_1164-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_1164-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_1162.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-815\" src=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_1162-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1162\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_1162-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_1162-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_1162-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During spring break, I went home to Telluride, Colorado and spent a lot of time at the recently reopened coffee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2076,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":818,"href":"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814\/revisions\/818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/globalcitiessandbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
