Hayes Valley is central to the story of San Francisco.
Its fertile ground made it friendly to farmers during the Gold Rush. Its Victorian homes survived the fires after the 1906 earthquake. Its Central Expressway made the neighborhood a gateway, but its thruway eventually led to mass getaway. Its revitalization began when that same highway was removed after the Loma Prieta earthquake. Its central location & comeback brought an eclectic mix of restaurants, artists, architectural experiments, bars, boutiques, parks and public farming. To us at Hayeswire, Hayes Valley conveys creativity, opportunity, friends and fun. It conveys street fairs, start ups and shipping containers. It conveys a central location, accessibility, diversity and eccentricity. And we can’t wait to convey it all to you. We see this as your online daily community paper. We'll highlight news, events, stories, people, places and random acts of kindness that take place in Hayes Valley. We’re stoked you’re joining us on this great adventure. Now, meet the team who will be conveying all the ins and outs of our neighborhood: Allen Raulet likes to play, design and tell stories about things. He likes people too. When he's not freelance designing for ad agencies and writing for hayeswire, he works on music projects and motorcycle fixer-uppering. Most of the time he has a beard, but sometimes he freaks out and wants to be reminded that his face is still there. Jared Schwartz believes a successful day consists of coffee, carbs and being consistently inconsistent. When he’s not working at a construction firm, you can find him taking Muni to random destinations and walking/eating his way back. He can beat anyone at Mario Kart when he's the Koopa Troopa, and he prefers to take the long way around.
