The Advocate, page 6B

The article I read was written to eplain the recent attempts of Baton Rouge to retain and attract the youth of today. All alround the country towns are trying to make their economy more appealing for those young adults will help to improve todays economy. This article express that the best way to attract the youth is to ask the youth exactly want they want to see. Recently an online survey has been brought up asking young adults about issues facing them in their region and what can be done to fix them. This survey is sponsered by Southern Growth Policies Board, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization in North Carolina that studies public policies throughout the south. To benefit in this survey you can log on to http:southern.org/surveyintro.shtml.
I liked this article article a lot because it gives the youth a voice in their own future rather than letting the adults of today pathe the way for us. I think thatit was written really well but left out a few details. I was left a little confused about exactly what was on the quizes and how the organization will use the results.

I'd be surprised if these surveys weren't used for some kind of marketing scheme. If it is what it says it is then that is pretty cool. People don't normally care what our age group has to say. The fact that they are pioneering something like this is definetely a new idea.
It's a great idea to ask young adults in this area. It's a college town and that is the majority of the population. The more you attract the better the college will do. The better the college does the better the community does. This makes everyone happy
It is exactly a marketing scheme trying to get people to come to that particular town's area; however, that does not mean that it is bad. This article did a good job of reaching the audience; it especially was good that the author gave the reader a way to take action. I like the idea of the surverys targeted at young adults. I think this is a very good article!
