After brainstorming topics for a Lehigh Valley story, I have concluded that the topic I would like to research further into is on the potential story topics that we brainstormed in class. I like “Easton-To Infinity and Beyond” as well as “A Marketable Modernization”, and I believe that it would be a juicy topic to cover because there are many routes that can be taken to accomplish the task. Both of these idea topics focus on the modernization of Easton and the effects the new restaurants, venues, and attractions have on the community. One topic specifically mentions The Easton Public Market, which I think would be an awesome topic all by itself. Whether it be covering the expansion in Easton on a smaller level, like just making a film on the Public Market, or expanding it to cover more than one part of the city, this would be an issue I would be very interested in creating.
Since I grew up in this area, it has been very exciting for me to see all the changes in the city, even from a couple years ago. Downtown Easton has sprouted a whole cluster of new restaurants and hot spots that have made the area into a destination station. I would love to work with a crew for a documentary like this
