Creating hyperlocal content can be difficult sometimes. I was wondering if folks would like to toss out some ideas for local stories. Anything goes with brainstorming. Be as wacky as you want. Here's a couple to get things started... 1. Inventory of garbage in Capitol Lake. Maybe updated monthly, or something. (You see a lot of weird stuff in there, at times) 2. An artesian well-watch. Keep track of inspections, saftey concerns etc. (What's up with the well at the old DOT location, next to the IT station?) Don't be afraid to brainstorm. No one should be critical of any one else's ideas. Let's be creative and see what we come up with.  |
