This group is trying to determine which groups of people are attracted to locations such as Weaver St. Market and McDonald's. Weaver St. Market is part of our study as well, and we are also interested in who this particular location is trying to attract, via their sales of Milk.

2. Imagination/Perception of a Coffee Shop

This group is comparing the perceptions between a local coffee shop and a corporately owned shop. They said they plan to interview customers and management alike to determine who the stores are trying to attract, and what the customers think of the coffee shops. This is similar to our project in that we are comparing a local market (Weaver St. Market) vs. Harris Teeter (or possibly another big name grocery store).

3. Imagination/Perception: Cosmic Cantina
*blackboard site: https://blackboard.unc.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tab=courses&url=/bin/common/course.pl?course_id=_252113_1

This group is looking at Cosmic as their main focal location and trying to study how the Mexican food and art contribute to the groups of people who come to eat at the restaurant. They are also considering times when different groups come. This relates to our project because it again focuses on who a specific place is trying to attract.
