In Venice!

We've arrived in Venice and are beginning our work. We've decided after our first meeting that it will probably best if we split up into, not have everyone alone or all in one group. The next thing we need to do is create a form that we can all agree on. It needs to contain data regarding retail stores, restaurants, and hotels. Here are the categories we have decided on:

All
Address
Name
Picture Number
Status
# Employees (visible)

Retail
Depth
Merchandise
Lowest Merchandise Type
Lowest Merchandise Height

Restaurants
# Chairs Inside
# Chairs Outside

Hotels
Checkbox if a hotel

We will be going out and starting our data collection on Monday. Chelsey and Yoshi will do Cannaregio and Rhiannon and Shanna will do San Marco.
