Which founding father narrowly escaped a public assassination attempt? Why does a silent, cracked bell still haunt the dreams of those who protect it? And what sinister object was once smuggled out of Independence Hall in the dead of night? Feel the cobblestones vibrate with the echoes of rebellion. Shift your perspective as you navigate the narrow alleys and grand plazas of a city hiding its darkest truths. Turn the corner and find the history no one else sees.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
