Great ad that promotes visiting Baltimore

is embedded in an article in Thursday's Washington Times Weekend section about DC's own Downtown Circulator. If you click through the ad, you're taken to a "Winter Weekend Getaway" page on the Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association website.

Looks like a pretty spiffy campaign focusing on local history and tourism. Check out the ad. It grabs your attention.

Note if you get to the connected Baltimore tourism promotion website, check it out and see if you agree with me that it is far more visually attractive and information-providing than DC's comparable website.

Which reminds me that the current issue of Preservation Magazine has close to one dozen ads from Virginia and Maryland history-tourism promotion efforts (not Montgomery County, but Prince George's County[!] is included), plus Visit Alexandria, which pisses me off with their slogan "The Fun Side of the Potomac"... Are they saying that there's more fun in Virginia?
