**MEMO28: Describing Places, to Make an Analytic Point**
This memo should include a 200-400-word description of a place that you have or may encounter, during your research, leveraging the description for analytic insight. In other words: make the description speak to a social theoretical question or point. The place you describe should be a real place, but you can flesh out your description imaginatively if you don’t yet have actual data.

I am unsure at this point which place has the greatest potentional to translate an analytical point to my audience. I have yet to experience the advocacy communities, manufacturing facilities, or industry conferences that might be useful sites for description. I am leaning toward advocacy offices as a stronger option due to the opportunities of understanding the movement portion of my interests. In particular the Institute for Local Self Reliance has several missions relevant to a fully formed bioplastic industry from their interests in a "carbohydrate economy" to composting. Their also might be an interesting description comparison between their Minneapolis site and Washington, D.C. site.
