It's not Jonathan Frakes' hometown. It's Riker's hometown.

A trek to see a star? A star trek, if you will?

If the river is flooding over the road, you will need to boldly go.

You see, the show was banned after the Star Trek wars.

You mean the vast migration of Star Wars fans?

No, that was the Star Wars trek.

I worry it would look more like a grown man peeing like a dog

Jonathan Frakes never worried how it would look, so why should we?

It looks fine in the context of motion. Just a statue lifting its leg over a chair though...

All those locations and the new one for Riker would make for an amazing North American Star Trek themed road trip.
