I am having a really hard time to find current articles about Lauraville. It is a very small area of Baltimore, so there is not a lot of people blogging or writing articles about it; which is actually one of the reasons that I chose to cover it. I found a post in the blog All We Can Eat from the Washington Post that is a little over the 2-week time frame for research article, but there was not much else to mention in the media.

So I found an blog post from the Washington Post about Zeke’s Coffee making a special blend for a cafe and gelato place called Pitano Gelato in Washington D.C. that serves and sells Zeke’s. According to the article, Thomas Rhodes, the owner of Zeke’s, made a special blend for Pitano Gelato and is getting attention in the D.C. area.

As I found out in my interview with Todd Brizzi, Zeke’s does not really put much into advertising, and mostly relies on word of mouth to get new customers. With this new exposure in a new market, it will help the company reach an audience outside of the Lauraville and even the Baltimore market.

The thing I found most interesting was that Rhodes made a special blend specifically for this place, and will ask him about it when I get a chance to sit down and talk with him.
