I was thinking of interviewing the owner of the restaurant The Arepa Lady. The restaurant is very popular in Jackson Heights for it’s colombian food but is unfortunately being closed down. Friends that I have in the area have told me the restaurant is being forced out to make way for a new company that purchased their property so I’d like to get the story straight from the restaurant owner or manager. I was hoping to initially pick up the sounds of people eating and talking, maybe the sound of workers in the back talking or orders being called out.
Another idea would be to interview my cousin who commutes to Baruch everyday from Long Island. I’d conduct the interview on the LIRR and capture the sound of the train arriving and sounds inside the train. This could enlighten some on the commuter life but I’m unsure if this qualifies as a “story”.
