Comments on: A story in Lincolnville http://curtfranklin.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/a-story-in-lincolnville/ Curtis Franklin's Weblog for Graduate School at the University of Florida Sun, 11 May 2008 19:13:21 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Curt Franklin http://curtfranklin.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/a-story-in-lincolnville/#comment-96 Curt Franklin Fri, 02 May 2008 00:08:11 +0000 http://curtfranklin.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/a-story-in-lincolnville/#comment-96 The shortest answer is that we got on-site and heard a different story than we'd heard in our planning interviews. It's not that what we heard on the ground in Lincolnville contradicted anything we'd heard before, but we were suddenly presented with a passion about a place that was obvious when we were all in that place. We discussed continuing with our original idea, and we plan to go back and tell more stories that include our original idea. I think we both felt, though, that we would regret not going with the story that presented itself that day, and that is represented in our submitted video. The fact is that Lincolnville is both a rich, unique community, and a community that represents what is happening in a lot of places around the U.S. We'll be heading back soon to talk to more people and find more stories.
