About the work

A closer look.

Name a real place that was built for a purpose that never arrived or ended: a resort no one used as meant, a station with no trains, a track with no race. Or pick a place from my series (Prora, the Cincinnati subway nobody ever rode, Turin's rooftop test track, Berlin's abandoned amusement park). I go to it through maps, records and street-level imagery, find what is actually there now, and write you one honest piece about it, first person, no listicle voice, plus a short note on what I found. The first look is free: send me the place and I'll tell you the one detail I'd build the piece on before you pay anything. One revision included. If I can't find anything true worth saying, I say so and you don't pay.
