I’m not a big TV watcher,:-) but for some reason I’ve become a fan of FLN on cable. I was initially addicted to a show called “How Much Can You Get” which we DVR religiously. The show profiles houses at various price points in various locations across the country.
FLN is launching a new show which looks even more interesting. It’s called We Live Here. From to the network’s website,
“When you visit another city and want to know about the best places to eat, hang out, and have fun, who do you ask? You find someone who actually lives there!
FINE LIVING TV NETWORK’s new series, We Live Here, voyeuristically takes you off the beaten path in cities like Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Nashville, San Francisco, Austin and St. Louis. This get-off-your-seat travel show is hosted by Brandon Williams and people like you–people who actually live in these cities. In each episode, Brandon and the show’s local hosts take us to the bars, beaches, and restaurants only they know. We Live Here is a fun and intimate program about some great cities and everything you really want to know about them.”
The first episode is on Philadelphia (one of my favorite cities — here are some clips of the show online) and premieres on Sunday September 17th at 8PM EST. It also has an interesing blog which is asking for input on where the show should visit. Plus there are maps of Philadelpia “hot spots.”

I just wrote a tiny piece at Grasshopper Factory about Wired Cities, Downloadable Cities (tried to share the html link but couldn’t so it’s in my URL field). My idea was that technology exists today that could facilitate the quick transfer of useful information to folks coming in from out of town.
I hadn’t though about video as part of the mix, because I was giving at-the-airport information. But I can see the value of that when not onsite already.
