Haight Ashbury Beat

Encyclopedia : H : HA : HAI : Haight Ashbury Beat

The Haight Ashbury Beat is a free, independent neighborhood newspaper that began in February 2004. The Beat covers news in the following San Francisco neighborhoods: Upper Haight, Lower Haight, Cole Valley, Panhandle & Divisadero corridor. The Haight Ashbury, though a bustling shopping district & tourist area, is a true neighborhood––with familiar faces, gorgeous back yards, active citizens. While you could write a whole book on whether the spirit of the 1960s is still alive, people living there today are doing new things and making the present an awfully interesting place in space-time... Somebody's got to help these folks talk to each other––and document their history––and right now, The Beat is blessed to be serving that purpose. The Beat was originally a San Francisco Observer newspaper, but went solo in August 2005, when publisher Jeremy Bates took over. The Beat joins a long line of Haight Ashbury papers, including the San Francisco Oracle, the Haight Ashbury Free Press, the Haight Ashbury Newspaper and The Street. http://www.haightashburybeat.com --[[User:Possiblyaduck|Possiblyaduck]] 07:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
