Brief me in two columns: durable and needs checking

Background on somewhere you have never been, with the uncertain parts marked.

Brief me on this place in two columns.

**Durable:** how it is laid out, what it is actually known for as opposed to marketed for, when people eat, what happens on Sundays.

**Needs checking:** hours, prices, timetables, current works, and whether a named business still exists.

If you are unsure which column something belongs in, put it in the second.

Place and dates:

Before you leave. Packing lists, place briefings split into durable and unverified, and what to ask a host first.
