In terms of public relations and advertising, it appears as though there are several avenues available to our disposal within the community. The most viable, preliminarily in my opinion would be the bars. These appear to be attractive locations for getting the word out there. It is possible that the patrons within these establishments routinely visit and would easily see whatever advertisements we were to leave there on display.
Another thing that we noticed was that the people that we ran into appeared friendly. This was a positive and led us to believe that we would not run into as many roadblocks as we had anticipated. Related to roadblocks though, we’d noticed that a few places were shut down or may have modified store hours, which were not on display for us to see, so we can only infer that they were not operating.
We were able to visit five establishments, two of them giving us their menus for us to contact them: Shirley’s Sunny Side Restaurant and Ultimate Pizza and Wings. After visiting the places that we were able to and generally scoping out the landscape, we decided the best way to interact with the community members to give them a feel for who we are and what we are about would be to go as a bigger group later in the day to visit these bars. It would be a great opportunity to interact with them in a laid back setting to meet common ground.
