Story Pitch Ideas:
Story Idea #1: As we had talked about in class, I would really like to explore the reasoning behind the three statues in front of the capitol building. I wonder if anyone that walks past them everyday even realizes that they are there or if they do notice them, do they know what they mean? I want to talk to people that walk around there everyday, some businesses around there, a neutral expert (maybe an MSU professor of history to explain how these types of things are chosen) and maybe the development and planning committee of the city of Lansing would be good to talk to as well.
Story Idea #2: I really wanted to explore the feature of the Kewpee restaurant downtown. It seems to stand out from the other restaurants and has been there for a lot longer than the other places. I want to research what makes it so successful being in such a metropolitan area when it’s more of a mom and pop restaurant. It’s on its fourth generation owner right now and there are a lot of regulars that come in. It just seems like an odd place for this store and I want to find out what makes it so successful. I will obviously talk to the Kewpee employees and customers but I also want to talk to other business owners in downtown Lansing and a neutral expert could be a business professor, one that has a particular interest in restaurants.
