The end of the semester is getting close, and I am almost finished with my ethnography project. I am doing my project on Chessmen's Pizza in Bridgewater MA. For weeks now I have been observing, experiencing and interviewing the people of Chessmen's. I have recently come to the conclusion that Chessmen's is special because of their small business touches, like homemade recipes and personalization with customers. Its these things that set them apart from other restaurants, specifically big chain like Dominos and Papa Gino's.
I think my project is going very well. I have completed the paper, but still need to put the finishing touches on, like details here and there, and more creative titles and subtitles. I am surprised by how much I have learned to be a better writer and observer through this project, and I hope my new skills stay with me throughout the upcoming summer vacation.
