Little Vietnam Points of Interest (Field work prep)



The map above is a template for my upcoming Field trip to Little Vietnam. I have marked many places of interest that i think can give me a better idea of what this community is about and how the culture differs from the surrounding New Orleans area. I am most excited about visiting the Veggie Co-op and getting to see the wide variation of produce they have and maybe even buying a few things to cook for dinner. You can tell a lot about a person or a culture by their cuisine which is what i intend to investigate on my visit. The supermarket is another great place to possibly do some interviews but also to just people watch. I marked the two of the religious establishments in the area: The Buddhist temple, and the Vietnamese Marry Queen Church.I have multiple Polygons of backyard gardens, some still in production and others that have since been grow over. I am bringing my bike and plan to cruise through the entirety of the enclave to get a good view of all the people their homes and a look at a day in the life of the Vietnamese and others living in this unique region of New Orleans.
