LA by Ear (not by screen)
I got off at Union Station in LA with Storydex open on my phone, thinking I'd spend the day bouncing from downtown museums to lunch spots. But I never even left the neighborhood around the station. Turns out there's one small hill by the train station where LA's first settlers arrived called El Pueblo, and it's packed with hidden stories: a garden that was once a burial ground for the city's founders, a centuries-old house that hid liquor during Prohibition, and a massive mural that nearly crumbled away before being saved by a last-minute rescue mission.
I spent hours wandering, glued to my screen reading these stories, which is great for testing, but terrible for sightseeing. That day made me realize Storydex needed audio. Now it's in the app! Next walk, my phone stays in my pocket.
