Some regular readers know that, once upon a time, I lived in Maryland, both on the Eastern Shore and in Annapolis. Lived in Kensington, too, for a short while.
All fabulous, by the way. Among the loveliest of American locales. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, don't let it go by. And in my humble opinion, there is no bad time to visit Maryland's Eastern Shore. Truly one of America's greatest treasures. Yes, I'm talking blue crabs. But also just pure unadulterated beauty.
So how nice to see that the Office of Tourism there was actually going out and doing some real promotions on behalf of the many wonderful B&Bs in Maryland.
What do I mean by actually going out and promoting them? Going on the local teevee station and showing some clips of actual places.
Can't get better promotion than that.
Tourism Boards everywhere: are you listening? Small inns need you. Get out there. We would really like to see more of this everywhere.
