In a tourist’s point of view

I found PhilaPlace and Euclid Corridor History Project to both be interesting and explored both of the websites as if I was going to visit these tourism sites. I decided that if I was taking a trip to Philadelphia, I would take the South Philadelphia: Territory of Dreams walking tour.

This picture I found to be the most intriguing because I live in a Civil War town (New Market, VA) and many of the street houses look like these. We are always providing tours around our small town and I think it would be interesting to see another historical town and hear their stories of the late 1800’s. I think that by using ordinary people’s opinions, stories, and images it makes this website unique because there is no bias behind it. Anytime I am researching on places to visit, I always like to read reviews of people that have been there and hear the pros and cons of that specific place.

I found the Cleveland Silverline webpage to be interesting as well, however, seemed to me that there were a few designing quirks that needed to be worked out. Sometimes when I clicked on a certain link it would redirect to me places I didn’t want to be. With that being said, I imagined I was also visiting Cleveland traveling on the Silverline and decided my destination would be Cleveland State University. I always find it so interesting to explore other college life and atmospheres compared to GMU. However, when exploring this website, I wasn’t very impressed by the lack of description. There were also only very few images of the college. I would use this website as a starting point and then continue my research on a website that has more detailed information. It was a useful page to recognize the stops on the Silverline though to plan out a trip that was based on these stops instead of having to hail a cab or walk all around the city.
