Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

  • Potrero View
    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO LONDON N. BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE JANUARY 13, 2020 THE POTRERO VIEW Application No.: LBR-2019-20-007 Business Name: The Potrero View Business Address: 1459 18th St., #214 District: District 10 Applicant: Bettina Cohen, Marketing Manager Nomination Date: July 15, 2019 Nominated By: Supervisor Shamann Walton Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION The Potrero View (the “View”) is San Francisco's oldest continuously published community newspaper, beginning in 1970. Dubbing themselves the “Potrero Hill Mob,” Bill and Jodie Dawson, Lenny Anderson, Micky Ostler and Rose Marie Sicoli launched The Potrero View out of the Dawson’s 284 Connecticut Street home. Aspiring to emerge into a newspaper that could influence municipal policy decisions, they received guidance from Eileen Maloney, their first editor who had journalism experience at Long Island’s Newsday and San Francisco's Progress. Potrero Hill resident Ruth Passen started contributing to the View in January 1971. That spring, Passen assumed editorial duties from Maloney, and in 1972, Passen succeeded the Dawsons as publisher of The Potrero View. She retired and turned the newspaper over to Steven Moss in 2006. The Potrero View began publishing its issues from offices in the basement of the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House in June 1972, not long after community advocate Enola Maxwell was elected director of the nonprofit. "The Nabe," as 953 De Haro is affectionately called by locals, is a Potrero Hill landmark, dating back to 1922, and has continuously housed churches or nonprofits that have a mission to serve community members in need, with an emphasis on youth and education.
