Title    Title of card is shown as it appears on card with the following exceptions:
         On some titles, a leading 'The' is not shown, e.g., "The Lake" may appear as just "Lake."
         Abbreviations are generally not used, e.g., Main St. would appear as Main Street
         Misspelled words in the actual title are corrected, and noted in the Notes column
         Square brackets [ ] are used to add information not present in the card title
         Long titles may be truncated.

         For some subcategories with many cards (colleges, universities, parks, etc.), the
         sequence of the title may be reversed.  For example, if the card title is
         "XYZ Hall, Yale University", the entry could be changed to "Yale Univ: XYZ Hall".

         This is for sorting by the Title entry within the State/City sort of the list.

         Spelling errors in the Title are corrected in the Title entry and a note added.

City     If not on card, shown as location of image if known.  Some locations no longer exist
         or are now incorporated into another city.  Current city is shown.
