Greetings Inngoers Reader,
There's no escaping the turning of the seasons, is there? It's just about this month that your faithful editor begins reliably writing the correct year on checks, which means it must be time to prepare for the winter holidays! We at BBOnline hope that you made time for a getaway this year. No? Well give yourself and the ones you love a treat and plan one now . . .
Chris Clarke, editor

We've made some big improvements in the way our State, Regional and City navigation pages look and behave. The layout is streamlined to put more of the links you need within view. There's an easy-to-use map link at the top right of each page, plus a convenient link to Email the page to a friend.
You'll find 33% more color photos of feature inns on State, Region and City pages, and the maps on the Region pages have been redrawn and repositioned to make them more useful. Take a tour of the new layout, using our home state of Tennessee:
