September 11th Account (Audio)

A brief account of my experience on September 11th, 2001 growing up in Queens, NY.

Here are a few locations of the recent crimes at DePaul University.

About

Talk Avenue is a showcase of the many voices of Chicago. Through video, audio, and written format, Talk Avenue interviews the people on the streets of Chicago to see what they have to say about todays hottest news topics. Using a series from my favorite blog Rap-up as inspiration, Talk Avenue will not only show the many sides to one topic, but also expose Chicago for the melting pot that it is known to be.

Round 2?

So –

I’m currently in the process of trying to figure out what type of blog I want this to be. I’ve done a music blog before, so naturally I am being drawn to that again, but I think I should push myself.

I have this idea: gathering up the opinions of random people on the street and making those into stories. I don’t know what the legal ramifications would be of this so that’s currently what’s holding me back.

Still, opinion is one of the things that makes us all interesting. Life would be so boring if we all thought the same way and lacked passion. Seeking out topics that cause emotional responses may be prove to not only be interesting for me, but also you, the reader.

Just a few thoughts, more concrete ideas this weekend.

Welcome!

Welcome to my first post!

I’m excited to start this new blog and see where it takes me. Hopefully you all will enjoy hearing my thoughts and opinions. Here’s a bit about me and where I’m at in life at the moment: DePaul University – Creative Writing Senior. Graduating in June with plans to move back to New York City.
