This comment resonnate with me and in the last few months that is why I have been working on a side project to "be a tourist" in your own town.
Where you can discover places near you and connect to their history, I have also added some check-in mechanics and quiz to gaming the experience and for to actually go see the place in person.
Think Pokemon go but for Wikipedia places.
Absolutely love this! Are you live pulling from Wikipedia for each search?
Also worth checking out Atlas Obscura. Kind of similar, kind of different.
