In Class: Public Space

I've been thinking about the types of places I could possibly do my Unit 1 project on and I have a lot of ideas. I could do the Stockyards, a coffee shop, a used book store, a Goodwill store, a YMCA, an old records store, Hulen mall, a park, a restaurant, etc. I think I'm leaning most towards the Stockyards because I haven't been there very much since I've been down here at school and I think I could observe some very unique people in that area. I could see if the stereotype of Texan cowboys and cowgirls is fulfillled. I could also see what different types of people visit the Stockyards, are there just cowboys and ranchers, are there mostly tourists, is everyone dressed in rodeo attire? If I did one of the other places I think I would do an old used records store, although I would have to find one first. It would be interesting to see what type of person listens to each type of music. To see if the stereotype of that music genre fits the person. These are just ideas in the works for right now so we'll see what I end up deciding to do.
