I volunteer at the Arlington, TX visitors center and several times a year we can count on someone coming in looking for the Arlington National Cemetery. We also get a lot of questions that have nothing to do with tourism or visiting the area.

LOL! I too volunteer at our local visitor center in the High Sierra of California and we have people come in the middle of December and January wearing shorts and sandals wanting to know of "a good mountain trail to hike" while looking out the front window of the visitors center, you can clearly see a life threatening, horrendous, blizzard going on in the nearby 14,000' peaks.

We too get questions about places that are hundreds of miles from our area, like "When does the Grand Canyon open?"

I find the best part of the “job” is dealing with the public, you just never know what a lot of them will say or ask for. We have people from all over the world come in, Arlington is the 2nd most popular tourist area in Texas, and I have met some of the most interesting people you could imagine. It is the visitor that makes it fun.
