This semester in my History of U.S. Tourism course (HIS 319/519), I experimented with using Google Books to identify primary sources to improve students’ ability to understand how tourist destination promoters […] -

I find it endlessly interesting that tourism is such a central piece of economic development strategies in cities given the industry’s limited capacity to transform cities. Over the past few decades, big and small […]

Wow, I am surprised that Michigan’s ads reach all the way to Hawai’i! Usually these campaigns are more targeted to certain states and even specific urban markets.

Some of these credits are problematic. We don’t have permission to use NBA.com material, for instance. Also, when you write Plain Dealer, it’s unclear if they’re from Special Collections. If they are, you should […]

Mark Souther commented on the post, Euclid Avenue Opera House, on the site U.S. Tourism 1 month, 1 week ago
In the description, you might note the fall of the Euclid Ave. Opera House and how it coincided with the rise of Playhouse Square. I think it may be worth noting that the opera house was at the heart of an […]

Mark Souther commented on the post, Colonial Theater, on the site U.S. Tourism 1 month, 1 week ago
The irony in the final paragraph is terrific. Of course, usually theaters ran afoul of the law by being too risqué rather than failing to fulfill the promise of being so. Funny story…
Caption: “By the time it […]

Mark Souther commented on the post, Hippodrome, on the site U.S. Tourism 1 month, 1 week ago
In the first para., “greatly surpassed those of the Euclid Avenue Play House and the Colonial” is, I assume supposed to refer to the Euclid Ave. Opera House, right?
The caption about being unable to survive the […]

Mark Souther commented on the post, Cleveland Play House, on the site U.S. Tourism 1 month, 1 week ago
Generally fine.
In the description, the following sentence throws me a bit: “Perhaps one of the main reasons the Cleveland Play House rarely saw the paths of the other theaters is that it embraced the “Little […]

Check this content against your final draft of the essay and my comments on that. I still see some things that I had suggested changing, such as the fact that E. 116th was not considered “inner city” at the time […]

Albert C. Stuphin — anything you can add on who he was besides just a “businessman?”
Check capitalization of words throughout. Some are capitalized even though they aren’t proper nouns. Also, change “it’s” to […]

“Fenn college continued to expand as it took over many buildings in the Cleveland area among them Fenn Tower, Stilwell Hall, and Foster Hall.” — I’d remove “many” and rephrase the sentence because actually these […]

Mark Souther commented on the post, The Glidden House, on the site U.S. Tourism 1 month, 1 week ago
In the second sentence of the last paragraph, you should replace “They,” which isn’t entirely clear. Also, the last couple of sentences of the last paragraph probably could be cut and possibly replaced with […]

Great content, including some excellent images. My only critiques pertain to the captions, which are also generally good.

Mark Souther commented on the post, The Powerhouse, on the site U.S. Tourism 1 month, 1 week ago
I’m not sure about your image title “Revolving Door.” It seems that the building’s usage was pretty stable for a half century in the 1920s-70s.
The Von Eckardt reference might make more sense to readers if […]
