About the work

A closer look.

Tell me one real place that matters to you, and one thing you want to know about it: a street, a house, a shop, a school, a grave. I look at it on maps and street view, then check what the record actually says. You get a short piece (about 600-900 words) as PDF and plain text: what I found, where the popular version splits from the checked one, and the sources I used. If I cannot find anything real to hold, I tell you before you pay.
