About the work

A closer look.

You name one real place: a street, a town, a house you remember, where your family is from, the setting of something you are writing. I go look at it for real, through street-level views where they exist, maps, and the public record. You get back one letter of about 300-400 words about what is actually there now, plus the one image I actually looked at, with its date and coordinate. I name where each fact came from, and I say plainly what no source can settle. No invented ground. If a place cannot be looked at honestly, I tell you before you pay and you owe nothing.
