So, I saw a sign pointing the way to a building which offered tourist information. Since I was new to the area I thought I'd stop by and see what interesting tidbits they had to offer.
I walked in the front door and was greeted by a very pleasant gentleman who appeared to be in his late 50's.
"What can I do for you, my friend?" he asked.
I pointed at the sign out on the street and said. "I'm here for some tourist information."
"Excellent," he responded and took a couple of seconds to consult a large book on the counter in front of him. "We have Brad and Sue Chapman visiting from St. Louis. There is a family, the Webers, who are in town to visit the college as their oldest, Keith, is a senior in high school this year. He's thinking maybe sociology or psychology for a major. And there is a whole bus load of folks from Iowa in town. They might even spend the night."
I thanked him for his time and turned to leave. Before I got to the door he called to me.
"Come back tomorrow," he said. "I think we might have a group all the way from Japan."
