The local tourist

[Cloud]

it's a truism that you never visit your own city/location's local attractions. I grew up 30 miles from San Francisco and never rode a cable car until I was in my 20s.

What local attractions should you really visit? Or are in your city or region that you could see if you were interested?

In my area, there are 3 historic missions--the school kids go, but I've never seen them, in my 20+ years here. In the larger area there are indigenous cliff dwellings-some of the oldest native American dwellings there are still extant, and I really should see those too.
