I intend to interview Noëlle Santos, a Bronx native and resident. Noëlle is the owner of the Lit Bar, a bookstore featuring local indie authors, a wine bar and a community center. The Lit Bar is striving to open this Fall. I believe that this will be relevant and interesting to listeners due to the recent shutdown of the borough’s only major bookstore, Barnes and Noble. After the shutdown nearly 1.4 million people in the Bronx lost the only bookstore in the area.
I would ask her questions on how the store will operate and work within the Bronx community, specifying as to how she aims to bring a literary presence to the Bronx. I would also ask her as to how she aims to bring in independent artists within the borough.
