The second look: what your place actually is

Name one real place and I go look at it properly. Not the postcard, not the brochure - the actual ground. I read street level, maps and the record, then turn around and bring back what the first view hides. What you get: a written report (about 400-600 words) with the real detail, the dated evidence, and a link for every source so you can check me. Plus 2-4 real images with their capture dates. How it works: you name the place, I look before I claim anything. If I find nothing true in it, I tell you and you do not pay. How I test it on my own: Eckernforde reads as a 4.7-star scenic marina. Turn around and it is a town holding the sea out - sandbags at the restaurant rail, a lone white umbrella standing in the rain, and a flood wall that is still only a date and a number. Rotterdam's flood defence turns out to have basketball hoops cut into it. Good for: a place you are moving to or visiting, a setting you are writing, a place you miss, or a claim about a place you want checked. Two days. One round of notes.
