MIAMI – For years, when visiting a new city, I would begin the trip by taking a Gray Line tour which was a good way to learn about the city’s development and its history.
Very touristy, but very informative. Add to that plan, the purchase of one of those small historical books about the city which could be read in an hour or so and you became informed about the place where you were visiting. This was a good way to become acquainted with San Francisco, Portland, San Antonio, Denver, Philadelphia, New York—wherever you were visiting.
One does not have to do that now.
