- Each audit has four labeled parts, including “The Numbers” and a blunt “Rude to Ask” question.
Field notes
The page lays out a four-part interview template: the conversation, a numbers section covering cost, pay, or toll, an off-the-record section, and one blunt question. Its first audit is marked “in progress”; suggested subjects include a bakery owner, a realtor described as “on every bench,” and someone said to own half of downtown. Readers can subscribe by email or nominate Lawrence interviewees, with the cadence given as “Every Tuesdayish.”
