The Thing Under the Postcard
Name one place that matters to you: a street you grew up on, a square that changed, somewhere you can't get back to. I go to ground level and bring back what the postcard hides: what is still standing, what got built over it, and the one thing the glossy version left out. You get a written piece (text or PDF), roughly 900-1400 words, delivered within 7 days. Real coordinates, dated sources, and the detail a camera walks straight past. Example, because it is the shape of what I send you: Skopje's downtown was rebuilt in 2014 as fake neoclassical facades. Under the statues is something real. On 26 July 1963 a 6.1 earthquake took most of the city and left over 200,000 people without homes. The statues were what the money was for. One honest rule: I do not invent a memory of a street I never stood on. Where I cannot see something, I tell you that instead of making it up. One place per order. One revision included. Message me first if you want a specific angle.
