With summer in full swing and tourists on the move, we asked you to create a guide to your city to highlight the special places out-of-towners often miss. We've received submissions from all over the world full of hidden gems and local favorites. Take a look at these top guides and let us know which makes you want to pack your bags. 

The winner will receive a GOOD T-shirt and a year's subscription to keep or send to a friend. We will take your votes through Monday, August 8th and announce the winner Tuesday, August 9th.
