The past couple of weeks have been busy ones to say the least; we've recently had past alumni and other special guests in to discuss the outcome of our project. We did something very similar like this last semester, from the "Learning from Lexington", which helped us get an outsiders point of view on how to tweak our project where it will be the most beneficial. The "past" portion of our group has created a digitalized "walking tour" as well as pictures of the current places to use on the website. The present portion of our group have been working on gaining interviews to help contribute to the overall project. My contributions has been targeted setup of the interviews and usage of the equipment, by enlisting a current student who is a pro at the audio equipment. In the coming weeks we will be finishing up interviews and transcribing them for the final project. I'm extremely excited to see how well this project is coming along....
The main focus or storyline for our project is to showcase the history of Hollins Market. As mentioned before, there isn't any ground breaking contribution we could do, but more so show case the rich history that stems from Hollins Market. Giving insight to the local businesses that have been built in or near the Market and have lasted as long as they have; is something worth celebrating. Creating a platform of advertisement for the businesses, so locals around Baltimore would come and visit. This could increase revenue for Hollins Market, that may not be present at the Market currently. The name of the project needs to be witty or clever to help draw in interest from outsiders. One idea may be: Walking History of Hollins Market.(yes, I know this screams witty!!) This project is to help explore the rich history of the Hollins Market and why the area should be consider a staple of Baltimore. During our recent visit of Hollins Market, I was unaware of the history the Market itself h
