The guidebook publisher who made his name in Europe has just returned to his boyhood home of Jefferson City for the first time in decades—and the result is an infectiously enthusiastic blog post on the joys of small-town America. Frommer writes: “Now I won’t claim that a visit to Jeff City is a big touristic opportunity. But to me at the time it was Athens, London, and Paris all rolled into one—and would you believe?—it lived up to every memory I had of it.”

Missouri road trip, anyone?
