Feb21	You Tell Me, CVB Matt Ellsworth February 21, 2006 Know More: CVB Websites 2.0, CVB Websites I've expressed my ideas about what a CVB website should say. Now let's hear from you.

Inc" is visually rich, and thick with information, but it offers many distractions to the person wanting to know first and foremost about facilities, costs, accommodations, conflicting events, etc..

	Will Detroit Win or Lose at Super Bowl Time? Matt Ellsworth February 1, 2006 Whose idea was it to hld the Super Bowl in Detroit in February? Really. Detroit is hosting the Big Game, and they had better do a first rate job of it, or "I told you so" will be on everybody's chapped lips for years to come.
