Greetings from Blow-yer­ moneyland • By w.o. Cutlip

As every scientist knows, the best method of studying homo tourisma is to follow the tourist into the wild and observe its struggle for survival in its native habitat. We have done this. Between May 9 and May 21, 1991, photogra­ pher Tonee Harbert and I made a total of seven forays down Route 1 between Kittery and Freeport, running up a total of 941 miles on my charcoal-gray 1988 Dodge Omni. This 70 mile strip of con­ crete is known to touristologists as "Blow-yer-moneyland." The Omni is only half paid for. We witnessed the sleazy glory of Blow-yer-moneyland's gift shops and tourist traps firsthand. We beheld within those gift shops and tourist traps a myriad of common items -lamps and ash trays, combs and toilet roll holders - all rendered in the form of a lobster. We watched in stunned silence while otherwise intelligent tourists shelled out good money for molded plastic trinkets - and then patted themselves on the back, as if those purchases were the shrewdest deals to ever go down in the history of the free world. In short, we saw everything .. there was to see. The following is a .. .. • journal of that journey - we are, after all, journalists.
