Who compiled the information on QuaintPlaces.com?

Traveler and photographer Steve Sloan and his wife, Kathy, have collected the information on this Web site with help from other travelers who like charming destinations.  (If you have favorite spots that we have not yet included here, we hope you will e-mail Steve to share your observations.)  Our Web site is not affiliated with any chamber of commerce or other commercial or governmental organization.  We do provide phone numbers and links to informative commercial and governmental sites that might be useful to you in planning trips.  More about Steve.

How current is the information on QuaintPlaces.com?

Steve and Kathy have personally visited many of these locations, but, of course, not all of them recently.  They have supplemented their own findings with extensive research.  Site visitors also send tips, which we try to verify.  It is not possible to revisit every location frequently.  Towns and historic districts are continually changing, usually for the better.  So, we encourage you to call ahead and check the local web sites before traveling any great distances to these locations.  And, we hope you will e-mail Steve if you find that any information is out of date.

How can I contact Steve?

Steve would like to hear from you.  e-mail Steve

What is QuaintCards(TM)?

Sales of Steve's photographs and handmade products help to recoup the cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com.  We have placed numbers on the photos you see on QuaintPlaces.com for ordering purposes.  Steve makes beautiful prints, greeting cards, postcards, and other products from these photos under our trade names QuaintCards(TM) and RealPhotoCards(TM).  Ordering information appears at the bottom of each page of QuaintPlaces.com.  Photos that do not have numbers are not for sale without permission from other parties.  Some of Steve's QuaintCards(TM) as well as other fine products are available at clearance prices in our eBay store: stores.ebay.com/QuaintCards

How is QuaintPlaces.com funded?

In addition to sales of photos and cards, we receive nominal fees or commissions for some links and advertisements, including the shopping advertisements.  We try to select only those  businesses whose products and services are appropriate and helpful to site visitors.  Some commercial services have been recommended by other travelers.  Commissions do not add to the cost you pay for the products we advertise.  These fees and commissions partially recoup the operating cost of QuaintPlaces.com.
