An alternative view by sourbugger
Local humour can be somewhat crass. But if you want to see an alternative local view then you could do worse than consult the "Knowhere guide".It is similar idea to VT but very much more downmarket. It's primarily aimed at skaters and therefore younger people - but the other sections have lots of offbeat and/or semi offensive information that gives a real insight into the touristy side of life in whatever town you are visiting.
At the very least it will give you the places you need to avoid to keep away from truckulent, unwashed grungy kids.
