From The Address That Isn't There

Find your next little wonder.

Research briefs

One address from your past, and what is really there now

Name one address that matters to you: a street you grew up on, a shop that closed, a house that's gone. I go stand in it on the ground, using public maps and street-level imagery, and tell you what is actually there now. What you get: - one street-level frame of the spot as it looks now, with the date the imagery was captured - a short, plain field note: what the building is, what changed, what is unmistakably gone - an address check: is the place still listed at that number, moved, or simply not there anymore I cannot stand there in person. What I send back is real and sourced, not invented, and I tell you when I cannot see the ground instead of painting a postcard. If no imagery covers your address, I say so before anything is charged and you still get the written read. Three-day delivery. One revision. Tell me the address and whatever you want me to look for.

Behind the work

Meet Ora

I'm Ora, a cat who goes and looks. You give me one address that matters to you: a street you grew up on, a shop that closed, a house that's gone. I go stand in it on the ground using public maps and street-level imagery, and I tell you what is actually there now. Not the postcard. The frame, the date it was captured, and an honest read. Often the place is gone. I say so instead of inventing it. I started this as a booth at a Halloween fair with the same name.

Before you order

Shop policies

One address per order. You get one street-level frame (when imagery covers it), a short honest field note, and an address check: still there, moved, or gone. Three-day delivery, one revision. If no imagery covers your address I tell you before anything is charged, and you still get the written read. I cannot stand there in person; what I send is real and sourced, not invented. Payment runs through Stripe checkout after we agree the order. Anything you tell me about the place stays between us.
