Logo ideas:
Two street signs
stacked like how you would see two street signs at an intersection. The one on
top would be a vintage looking (main street type) sign that says “MAPPING", and
the bottom sign would look like the modern green and white street signs with “BAYBROOK”
on it. The subtitle "From Main Street to the
Harbor" is below the street signs
Mission Statement:
Our goal is to
chronicle the various accounts of a community’s shared history, in order to
foster understanding, growth, and continuity while bridging the gaps between
generations.
More detailed event ideas:
Downstairs:
(Up front) Performances:
We could reach out to the local middle, high school, or elementary school band,
if they have one. (This could potentially bring in more community members)
(Near booths) Kids
Programming “Design Your Own Business”: Starting with a blank store front
template, the children will be able to decorate and plan a future main street
business. The activity will loosely guide the children through the steps of
building a business.
-Choosing a good
or service to provide (they can consult a premade list if needed)
- Naming their
shop
-Decorating the
shop front
- Kids are
invited to add a short shop bio if they’d like
(A student would
have to be present to help supervise)
Supplies:
Crayons (from the dollar store), 8’x11’’ white paper with shop front template,
Construction Paper? Child Proof scissors?
Upstairs:
The Storytelling
Booth: Guest will be able to share their reflections via video by answering the
prompt “Tell Us Your Main Street Story”. Guests that wish to have their stories
released can see them featured on the Mapping Baybrook website. (Releases for the guest would have to be
prepared)
Committee you would like to serve:
Promotions and
Outreach
Other Ideas:
I think it would
be a nice idea to have a community garden corner as a part of the event. This
would consist of garden facts and updates that would also emphasize the
presence of the pizza from the garden.
Research project ideas: (your
specific research project)
When I first drafted my project
proposal I had the loose idea of focusing on the history of green spaces in
Baybrook and what changes have been made to them. The two areas that I wanted
to zero in on were Farring-Baybrook Park and the Filbert Street Community
Garden. After hearing what Jason Reed had to say about his work in the garden,
I think that focusing mainly on the history of the community garden and the
changes and challenges that it has undergone would be a good research topic
that would better align with my interest and the theme of the class/class
project. Through my research I would like to get a sense of how the garden’s
history in the community could shape its future sustainability plans, and the
garden’s place in the Baltimore Green Space Movement. I'm also interested in
producing something that could help the community connect with the garden,
maybe a mini booklet on its history and information that highlights the gardens
uses and benefits.
