This past winter I traveled to Arizona and drove down old Highway 60 from Wickenberg to Quartzite and encountered a living museum of Americana in its defunct roadside motels. A few were repurposed as homes or businesses, but most were abandoned and crumbling.  On a bright sunny day with desert skies <a href="http://www.jeffreymlevinemd.com/abandoned-ghost-motels-in-arizona/" class="continue">...Read More</a>]]></description>

This past weekend at the annual meeting of the American Medical Directors Association (AMDA), I sat in the audience as Dr. Libow received the prestigious James Patee Award for Excellence in Education.

Last weekend I flew to Phoenix, rented a car, and drove to Wickenberg – a cowboy town replete with Saguaro cacti and blazing sunsets. Living in New York City makes a horizon-to-horizon view in complete silence with nobody around an amazing treat. <a href="http://www.jeffreymlevinemd.com/sketching-in-the-desert/" class="continue">...Read More</a>]]></description>
