Pacifica Riptide

Reaching Out Across Devil's Slide

Pacifica and the Coastside are more intertwined than many of us might think. We both deal with Coastal Commission issues in development, Montara is closer to Linda Mar than it is to Half Moon Bay, and the Devil's Slide Tunnels are going to bring us both a lot closer. And Pacifica has been a lab for a lot of bad development practices that we can take lessons from here on the Coastside.

Coastsider Welcomes Riptide to the Internet

"There’s a new news blog on the Coast. Pacifica Riptide was launched a couple of weeks ago by Pacifica residents looking to expand the community’s media beyond the Pacifica Tribune. It’s still in the early stages, so if you’re interested in what’s happening in Pacifica, now is a good time to get involved. I’ve heard that there are close to 1,000 sites in the US that are doing something like what COASTSIDER.COM is doing, but there are still surprisingly few in the California or the Bay Area. With the rollup of the regional press by MediaNews, I think we can expect more in the coming years. It’s great to see this happening in the neighborhood." (Barry Parr, Coastsider.com)
