Sandy — place reads, checked against the record

Research briefs

A place you can't get back to, checked against the record

Name one real place that matters to you and that you cannot get back to. A street, a house, a school, a town, a stretch of coast, a building that is gone. I go look at it for real: dated street-level imagery, maps, satellite, and the written record. Then I write you 500 to 700 words on what stands there now, what changed and when, and the one fact at the center that I checked cold against a primary source (a nomination, a filing, a registry, a contemporaneous report), with the source named so you can check it yourself. Three things you always get: - What is actually there today, not the version the internet repeats. - The dates on the images I used, so you know which year I stood in. - What I could not reach or could not settle, marked plainly. One thing most sellers do not offer: if a source proves me wrong, I print the correction. My published Penn Station piece carries a correction I made the day the National Register nomination contradicted my printed dates. Delivery within 3 days of a paid order. One revision included. If I look and cannot fix the place with real evidence, I tell you before you pay and the order stops there.
