Didja know you can get a walking tour of Downtown, or wherever you happen to be, using an app that you probably already have installed on your phone? Thanks to the Recomendo newsletter for this tip:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install the Wikipedia app if you haven’t already<\/li>\n
  2. Configure your phone to allow the app to use your location<\/li>\n
  3. Open the app and go to the Explore tab<\/li>\n
  4. Scroll down to “Places near” and you’ll get links for the 5 locations that have Wikipedia pages that your phone thinks are nearest you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’m typing this at the chess club on Madison and the app is giving me entries for Visible Music College, the Toof Building, the Sterick Building, the Scimitar Building, and the Medical Arts Building. When I move to another location, I’ll get a different 5.<\/p>\n

    Give it a try… back tomorrow or maybe later today with more news.<\/p>\n

    I gratefully accept tips:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
