I still think a site dedicated to guides for the Pro Tour/Grand Prix circuits would be better.

I didn´t even say don´t make these articles or that I dislike them, I just said it would be better to have a place for articles like these and not have them scattered over various sites. I just want to get the word out so that maybe someone takes up this idea and creates such a site.

One of the best parts of traveling is seeing the sites!

I'd like to add McCormick and Schmick's as a fine place to get fresh seafood; it's right around the corner from Ruth's Chris. And if you are a steak eater and have a larger budget, Morton's Steakhouse is right by the convention center.

These articles I think fit quite well on QS as it helps you find a way to not waste your money when travelling, and these guides are always given as bonus editions which haven't been in place of a writer's regular weekly column. Its like getting a suprise free toy with your combo meal.

And no shout out for Illusions Magic Bar on the Hill? Roddy will be very sad lol Illussions is probably one of my favorite places to take visiting friends because its a hell of a good time. http://www.illusionsmagicbar.com/
"Illusions is a high-end bar and lounge in Federal Hill, Baltimore, MD. Located south of the Inner Harbor, Illusions brings something special and interesting to Baltimore: a comedy magic theme and a classy establishment. Come for some drinks and see
some magic."

1.) They don´t have much to do with the economics of the game.
2.) They are only really interesting to people who plan to attend those events.

Every time I see one of those I feel cheated of another article.
That said, these things should continue, because I generally think they are great, but imho someone should dedicate a whole site to these kind of articles that revolve all around traveling to events and the locations and stuff, with people telling where to book the cheapest flights and hotels, where players are staying and who is looking for playtest partners or a shared hotel room. This would really go well with guides like these.

OK its not closer than Canton Games but is way cooler. 711 W. 40th St Baltimore MD 21211. Its in the Rotunda Mall. Call 410 889 6005 if you have any questions. Come play FNM with Yo! MTG Taps!

They are something I haven't seen much anywhere else, and I imagine they are great for people traveling to these cities.
