Jayanand,

If "Documenting the effects of the global economic downturn in your  
city/village/town"
means that you're documenting positive growth - then that's what's  
happening in your area.
A significant piece of this or any such investigation/documentation
by its very nature will show some places more or less affected.
The challenge becomes discovering and documenting what is actually  
going on.

Still open for other/different Assignment ideas/possibilities - 'til  
March 1st?

Regards,
George Lottermoser
