Charting
Stopped writing to work on my charts depicting the level of exposure New Bedford has on tourism websites. While creating one for the Visit-Massachusetts.com website I came across their list of "90 Great Things To Do in Massachusetts." There is only one item from New Bedford listed: The Zeiterion Theater. I'm sad/surprised that the Whaling National Park didn't even make the list!
Here's what Visit-MA website had to say about this refurbished theater, which is actively involved in the revitalization of downtown New Bedford: "For lively, dynamic, creative entertainment of all stripes, stay tuned to the Zeiterion Theatre on Purchase Street in New Bedford. This historic performing arts center is located in a restored 1923 vaudeville house. Its programs include summer musicals; comedy, great American music, dance, global beat; special events and family fun. The 2009-10 season includes The Moscow Ballet, July Collins, Emerson and Lake, the Doo Wop 5, the Paul Winter Consort, Queen, The Hobbit, and more...."
