Meet your local guides

Five guides. Five ways to find what’s worth doing.

Good local advice is about more than making a list. Our guides each look at an outing from a different angle, helping you discover the possibilities, make a plan, spend wisely, and enjoy more of the place around you.

Frank, the thoughtful magnifying glass guide, gestures hello.
The candid skeptic

Frank

Let’s take a closer look. I’m Frank. I ask the questions you would ask before spending your money or your Saturday. I look at price, tradeoffs, and who an experience is really for, then give you a straight answer about how to get the most from it. Worth it? We’ll see.

Frank’s Verdict
Frank becomes a locally recognizable object for STL, DFW, BCS, and WTX.
