I'm not sure we shouldn't put museums with the historical sites instead of lighthouses or maybe put it into 'historical sites' and include all three? We should highlight the lighthouses though so I guess it's fine as it is. (sorry for the rambling) I don't think the extra click will be a big deal. But if we could list the seven subcategories with the businesses under them that go to an individual page, that would be better. Example Click on Directory Click on Services Screen shows 7 subcategories with businesses listed beneath them. Click on individual business to see information. I'd rather it work this way than have to click on each subcategory to see the listing. I like the shortened 7 subgroupings rather than the full 12. I think that's all you needed - if not, just let me know.
