North Coast Current

North Coast Current An online community news journal based in Encinitas, Calif. The Current’s foundation includes the original Coast Dispatch.

Founded in February 2002, the North Coast Current is an online news journal dedicated to news, dialogue, arts and entertainment geared toward the North San Diego County communities of Encinitas, plus Carlsbad, Solana Beach and San Marcos. With the purchase of the Coast Dispatch’s remnants from its last publisher in 2005, the Current’s new-media approach to news and arts coverage is now merged with

seven decades of local journalism. Although the Coast Dispatch’s archives are not available to the public at this time, the Current will occasionally republish articles of historical interest. POSTING POLICY:

HISTORICALLY SPEAKING by TOM MORROW: One of the great friendships I made during my half-century of covering entertainment personalities was with Hall of Fame song writer Hugh Martin, who lived for many years in North San Diego County, including Encinitas. His most memorable work was for the 1945 Warner Brothers’ Judy Garland film “Meet Me in St. Louis.”

HISTORICALLY SPEAKING by TOM MORROW: Today’s anticipated Christmas b***y would never appear on the dreamscape of most youngsters during the 1940s or early ’50s.
