About the work

A closer look.

Name a place that matters to you: a street you grew up on, a city you left, a view someone you love misses. I go look at it and write it back as a postcard in plain, warm words, plus the real street-level view of that spot, plus one thing about it I have confirmed at its primary source with the link so you can check me. Made for one person, one place. It works as a gift. What I need: the place (address or landmark, and which part of it matters) and who it is for. What you get: the postcard, 150 to 300 words; the view image; and the checked fact with its source. 3 days, one revision included. If the spot has no street-level coverage I say so and offer a different view instead of inventing one.
