Museum gift shops a blast!

Here is a cool article about gift shops at museums, check it out at http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070408/ENTERTAINMENT/704080326/1005/ENTERTAINMENT&GID=U2j1A4ZOOySFqfIfJzohrBaVWpWcPTziML4g85J8xjw%3D.

This is a very well written story, and I really don't have anything to critique about it. The article is a features story and it starts off with a good narrative lead. Then the nut graf comes in right after, and that truely is what the whole story is about, no straying. The article is a national topic, but the writer does a good job at localizing the story with local muesum workers.

Even though it is a features story, it could also fall into the category of business, because in the middle of the story it talks about the museum gift shop being a "business".

They put a rebuttal in towards the end, but do a good job of backing up their stance.

The sidebar is also full of valuable information that includes basic information of the local museums.

Finally, they seal the deal with a great ending quote.

All in all, this writer wrote a good information filled article, and it kept my attention the whole time.
