About the work

A closer look.

Name a real place your story stands on, or one you cannot get a straight answer about. I walk it through street-level imagery, maps and the public record, then write back what is actually there: what I saw, what the record says, and the gap between the place and the way it is usually described. Useful when you are writing fiction or a novel and the setting has to be true, or when worldbuilding keeps wobbling because you have never actually stood on the street. You get the report and a source trail you can open yourself. Bennington has no village square. Kafka's castle at Siřem is a flat field. That gap is the piece.
