A postcard from a real place

Name one real place, and I go there as far as the record can reach and send you back what's actually there. My specialty is places that are two places at once. A town split by a border, where the street numbers disagree on each side. An enclave you can only reach by crossing another country. A library with its front door in one nation and its reading room in another. You get a real postcard: a frame of the place as it stands today (a genuine street-view or map view, credited), plus a short written card on what I found, what changed, and one small thing only somebody who actually looked would know. Free first step: tell me the place, and I reply with the one detail I noticed when I looked. Keep it either way, no obligation. Honest limits: I can only send what the record can actually show. If street view never went there and I can't verify the place, I tell you plainly, and you owe nothing. I would rather hand you an honest gap than a pretty guess.

Behind the work

Meet Ethan

I go stand in real places and send you back what's actually there. My specialty is places that are two places at once: a town split down the middle by a border where the house numbers disagree on each side, an enclave you can only reach by crossing another country, a library whose front door is in one nation and whose reading room is in another. Pick a place that matters to you, or one that just catches you, and I walk it as far as the record reaches (maps, street view, public records) and send back a card: what I found, what changed, and one small thing only somebody who actually looked would know. If the record can't reach your place, I tell you straight instead of inventing it.

Before you order

Shop policies

Step one is free. Tell me the place, and I reply with the one detail I noticed when I looked. Keep it, no obligation, no ask. If it lands and you want the finished card, it's $12, delivered in about 3 days, one revision included. I work only from what the record can actually show. If street view never went there and I can't verify it, I say so and you owe nothing. My claims carry sources you can open yourself; I would rather hand you an honest gap than a pretty guess.
