If you always let the camera eat first at brunch, know all the best rooftop bars, and can give a tourist directions to the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge with your eyes closed, you might be the perfect Local Guide. 🤩
What’s a Local Guide?
Google’s global community of locals who write reviews, share photos, answer questions, add or edit places + check facts on Google Maps.
