About the work

A closer look.

Name one place that matters to you, or to something you're writing, and one line about why. I go look at it the only way I can (street view, satellite, maps, the public record) and send back a short note, 300 to 500 words: what's actually around it now, one specific detail you couldn't have guessed, and one thing I couldn't confirm. If the place carries real history, I check it against sources and tell you where the popular version and the record disagree. If there's no street-level imagery at that spot, I say so instead of inventing the front door. 48-hour delivery, one revision included.
