Frequent travelers often find themselves facing an information gap. Though some savor getting to know a new area through its local newspapers, others dislike the parochialism of too many home-town stories. The nationally distributed alternatives, the Wall Street Journal and the less universally available New York Times, are not exactly the lightest of reads.

...four-lane strip. "Welcome to Wheeling-the village with feeling." Finally, painted in neat black-and-white script, a tastebud red alert: Le Français. The building looks like a suburban developer's vision of a French country inn, and the visitor pauses for a moment to savor the incongruity. Wheeling, Ill. (pop. 23,089), is a beer-and-pretzels kind of town with a sizable blue-collar population. Yet here, 30 miles from downtown Chicago, is one of the best restaurants...
