Ideas – Lauraville Community in Baltimore
Possible Sites:
• Lauraville Improvement Association
• Zeke’s Coffee
• Great Soul Wellness Studio
• Grind On Cafe
• Tuesday Market Connection in Lauraville (Baltimore Sun) – Starts June 2nd.
The Peg: Lauraville is a tightly knit community in northeast Baltimore that is doing many things to improve both the quality of the area and the image that it is portraying. There are many locally owned and operated businesses that are trying to be responsible business owners and provide quality services to the Lauraville community. I’m sure there are some very interesting stories behind the businesses that have never been explored from a journalistic viewpoint.
Ideas for Media: Photos of the businesses, video/audio interviews with owners of these places, Google Maps showing where Lauraville is and where the businesses can be found; a lot of possibilities.
Who can be interviewed?:
• Members of the Lauraville Improvement Association
• Owners/employees of the local area businesses
• People living in the Lauraville community
• People visiting Lauraville events or businesses
Technical & Other Restrictions: There are not very many restrictions or problems doing this topic. I should be able to schedule interviews with the people I need to speak with, it is a pretty small community with very friendly people.
How is this different from what is out there?: There are not many websites or much media coverage dealing with Lauraville. I think it could be informative to people that don’t know about all that Lauraville has to offer, and the website I would create would be unlike anything currently existing.
