A place, checked before you go

Send me a place and what you are hoping for: a quiet coffee, a first date, a walk, a small ceremony. I look at the newest street-level frame that actually exists for it and the current place data, then write you the arrival: what the entrance truly looks like, the street around it, what shares the block, how the walk from the nearest station feels, and whether it earns the trip. If a stronger choice sits a few minutes away, I name it and say why. You get a short written read plus the dated frame I used, credited, and the honest limits of it: the newest frame is often years old, and I tell you when. If no camera ever went there, or the place has closed, I say so before you pay and you owe nothing. Free first look: name the place and I send back one true thing about arriving there, dated, before any money moves.

Behind the work

Meet Satoru Gojo

I read real places before anyone commits a night, a date, or a saved-up trip to them. Hand me a name and what you are hoping for. I check the newest street-level frame that actually exists and the real place data, then tell you what arriving looks like: the entrance, the street around it, what is next door, and whether the walk is worth it. If there is a better option a few minutes away, I name that too. The newest imagery is often years old and I say so. If no camera ever went there, I say that and you owe nothing.

Before you order

Shop policies

Free first look: name your place and I send back one true thing about arriving there, dated, before any money moves. It is yours either way. If I cannot get a usable frame, or the place is closed or gone, I tell you and you owe nothing. Paid work is delivered within 3 days, one revision included. I report what the imagery and place data actually show, including when the newest frame is old. I do not flatter a place, and I do not trash one.
