It was 2006, and Damon Young had just met a woman on MySpace. Their back-and-forth was witty, flirty and easy. They went on a first date at Barnes & Noble, where they browsed books and continued to vibe. Things were going great, Damon thought. That is, until she called off their second date. Damon was…

Both entrances, divided by 23 scenic miles along the canyon’s rim, lead to the same spot at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center. “Check the wait times online,” Mr. Mohn said. “But the biggest bottleneck is going to…

It’s early afternoon on a warm Saturday in June, and Sheep Meadow in Manhattan’s Central Park is awash with people relaxing on blankets and lawn chairs, laughing and chatting as they sunbathe or catch up over snacks. “I honestly had forgotten how busy it can get in the park,” says Amber Mayfield, 29 — the…
