After today's class, I thought of a really interesting approach we might be able to take for our project. Each neighborhood comes with certain stereotypes. Chinatown is known for it's noxious smell. Brighton Beach is known for the unfriendly attitude of its inhabitants. I think it would really interesting to comment on the different stereotypes of each area. Are the stereotypes true? Or, are they only there because outsiders associate the areas with certain ideas, people, geographies...?

What do the people living inside the areas feel about the stereotypes? Are they fact or fiction?

I think that would be a cool thing to look into.
