Analysis of a Place/Artifact ideas

I haven't decided exactly what I plan on writing about for our analysis paper but I have a few things in mind. I live in Wyandotte and we don't have very many landmarks. One of my first thoughts for this paper was to write the paper about an old library in my city that is supposedly haunted. I think it would be interesting to research the library and find out how the rumor of the haunting began. Another idea I had was the old train station in Detroit. I am completely facinated with the train station but since it is no longer in business, it would be hard to find people to interview. Also, my dad owns a bar and I thought it could be interesting to write my paper on that. The building he runs his business in actually has quite an interesting history. My friend actually just reminded me of a location in Wyandotte that i would LOVE to write about: small house. Small house is a house in my city that is ridiculous tiny. You have to see it with your own eyes to actually grasp the size of this place. The amazing thing about it is that people actually do live there. There are rumors that the basement to small house is the whole underneath of Wyandotte. The only problem with using small house as my place is I don't know if it is possible to research it online or at our library. Another place I might use is the Renaissance Center. I think it would be cool to write about because of its importance in Detroit. I still have a lot of thinking to do for this assignment.

Ultimately, the decision should be yours, but personally, I like the haunting idea. But then again, things like that interest me.
