City Websites

http://www.marylandhistoricaltrust.net/ - Not a particularly attractive or easy to navigate site, but it has some good information. It contains a lot of historical information about areas of Maryland, so it is an important resource. However, the individual pages are not particularly laid out well. They are just huge chunks of text with images scattered in between. This makes it hard to find the information you might want.

http://www.nycvisit.com/home/index.cfm - This is a very attractive and coherent site with more of an emphasis on tourism, but that is what New York is mostly about. While some tourist spots are entertainment-based, historical areas of New York are also included in the tourism attractions. The calendar page gives information for a wide variety of enriching events in any section of New York.

http://www.lacvb.com/ - The site for Los Angeles tourism is very similar to the New York page. Both have a very professional look and feel to them. The information on this site and the look of the pages convey an image of Los Angeles which seems to be fitting for the city's entertainment industry and lifestyle.
