Local Guide taps you on the shoulder when you're standing near something extraordinary — a scandal, a secret, a disaster hiding in plain sight. Hear it narrated. Then walk right to it.
Be first to walk St. Pete with it. No spam — just your invite.
Why it's different
The history apps you know recycle the same Wikipedia entries everyone's already read. Local Guide hunts the stories nobody bothered to compile — the specific, verifiable, jaw-dropping ones hiding one paragraph past the obvious.
How it works
Keep it in your pocket. No planning, no searching, no scheduled tour to book.
Only when you're near something genuinely worth stopping for — never spam, only the remarkable.
Hear the story narrated hands-free, then follow one-tap directions to the exact spot.
Real content
This is an actual Local Guide story. Every one is true, sourced, and chosen by one test: would you stop walking and grab your friend's arm? If not, it doesn't ship.
The day before their wedding, Edward Leedskalnin's 16-year-old fiancée called it off. He answered by spending nearly 30 years carving 1,100 tons of coral rock into a castle — working alone, mostly at night. When developers crept close, he moved the entire structure 10 miles to Homestead. He never told anyone how.
