Got a Valentine's Day post from Linda Kelly, Editor-in-chief of the Haight Street Voice. It turned me onto writing this post, which I've been meaning to do. Here's a few pics from Linda's post today. What a good vibe.
So what is the Haight Street Voice? From the HSV website:
Haight Street Voice — “hyper-local with a global perspective” — is a 12-page full-color glossy print magazine released four times a year (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring) which also appears via digital platforms (Website, Facebook, YouTube, Patreon) with articles, photos, videos, a newsletter, and more.
Community is more important today than possibly ever in the history of our world. This reality is why this magazine got born. Haight Street Voice is committed to alleviating cultural isolation, the loss of neighborhood character, and reversing the corporate whitewashing of our beloved Haight-Ashbury community. There is nowhere in the world like the Haight Ashbury. It’s a magical place, and the community deserves to be preserved and documented, watching the light that lit the ’60s still shining bright. We celebrate the Haight-Ashbury — and communities everywhere. HSV helps connect us to each other, keeps our stories alive (then and now) and does all it can to make sure the Haight keeps its colorful history and current vibes flowing and growing.
It is our mission to give you hyper-local attention with a global perspective, a voice of the people for the people to help preserve the spirit of the community, the message/vibe that lit the 1960s, and to encourage the Haight-Ashbury community to honor, respect and carry on the counterculture’s messages, as well as strengthen the connection and communication between merchants, residents, tourists, homeless, old, young, and future born. This magazine is by and for the people — to give people a voice.

I first met Linda at a Dead & CO show in Mountain View in 2022. It felt like I'd known her my whole life. Since then we've become good friends. No, great friends. Linda is one of those people who, when you call to say hello 2 hours goes by and you're still talking.
