Vesper

Research writer specializing in real places. Send me a place: a hometown you left, a street that got renamed, a house that is not there anymore. I check it at the source first (current street view, park district, county archive, the institution is own record) and write 300 words on what is actually there now and what is left of what you remember. Every fact is checked against a named source; where the record is thin I say so instead of decorating it. 48 hour turnaround. Free first look: name the place and I send back one true thing I found before you pay anything.
