The beatnik/hipster/hippie movement began in NYC and eventually moved to SF/Berkley shortly afterward.
Huh what the heck are you talking about? First of all the hep movement(origional hipster movement) of the 1940's was largely resigned to jazz clubs in harlem and zuit suit gatherings in Los Angeles. Not even really a white trend, and most of the origional hep cats regarded whites trying to get into the style as imposters. Thats why they emphasized the use of slang lingo so much, becuase most urban whites in the 1940's could not understand a lick of it.
The beatnick movement was largely spawned by writers of the lost generation who lived in both new york and california.
And the hippy movement? Are you freakin for real? Started in new york? Thats a laugh... The hippy movement was related directly to the LSD movement. Tim Leary a quack harvard professor used to order it from the swiss factories, and keasy and other standford students from palo alto in the bay were getting hooked up via the CIA (back when all of this was legal of course). Keasy and his group of nuts headed east in search of leary and the rest is history. Leary was too much of a stuffy east coast type and they were over him.
New york was not a front runner in the hippy movement, maybe the village was, but the city of new york....not even close.
Students at UC Berkeley started the free speech movement and were the first students documented protesting the vietnam war back in 1964 and 1965 when the rest of the country and california for that matter didn't have a freakin' clue.
Heck the black counter part to the white hippy rebellion, the black panthers, was formed in Oakland

Really? Do you have any links or sources to show me what you mean? Or where did you hear about that?

Toronto studio owner buys Ryerson Steel property.
A $5 million state grant approved Friday set in motion the purchase of the former Ryerson steel property that will be converted into the biggest state-of- the-art film studio outside of Hollywood.
Cinespace Chicago, located on 50 acres of prime city property on the Near Southwest Side, is now under construction and one 330,000-sq. ft. stage could be ready for action by January.
Cinespace Chicago owner, Nick Mirkopoulos, is a highly successful and respected Toronto studio owner, who will invest an estimated $80 million to convert the six contiguous buildings into a film and TV production center.
When completed in 12-15 months, Cinespace Chicago will create a projected 6,000 jobs.
“A big studio like this is long overdue,” said John Coli, Sr., secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 727 and president of Teamsters Joint Council 25, who has worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes for several years in an effort to convince a major studio owner with a successful track record to establish a film complex in Chicago.
The Ryerson campus, as it is called, consists of 1.3 million sq. ft. of buildings under one roof, situated on 48.5 acres of land between Ogden and Western Avenues, a scant five miles southwest from State and Madison Streets in the Loop.
Mirkopoulos reportedly paid $18 million for the property. An asking price of $22-$26 million had been listed with an industrial real estate broker for the past 18 months.
Production business is expected almost immediately.
After receiving news of the state grant approval Friday, Mirkopoulos on Monday flew his architect to Chicago to meet with contractors to immediately begin converting one of the property’s six 572×572-sq. ft. buildings into a sound stage, which is expected to be completed within an estimated 60 days.
“They claim they will have business for the studio by then,” said Coli.
Chicago will be an extremely attractive place to produce movies and TV shows, said Coli, thanks to unions that have committed to providing lower costs for filmmakers and Illinois’ sustainable 30% tax credit….

That's actually wonderful news. And it's just what Chicago needs to further diversify it's economy.
I heard Detroit and the state of Michigan in general has been trying very hard to attract movie industries and production companies there. I suppose they have failed in attempts.

Couldn't agree more, SF boosters will try to show everyone that some how because social networking are headquartered in the bay area somehow everyone that uses youtube thinks back to themselves "wow all this wouldn't be possible if not for san francisco", please you think people think "wow if it wasn't for China I wouldn't be enjoying these fireworks" or "wow I wouldn't be enjoying this great view of my cities' skyline if it wasn't for Chicago", only fools will actually think that anyone ever gives the bay a second thought when using youtube, facebook, myspace, etc.

First of all, That fast fading website also known as myspace is not from the Bay Area. Maybe if it were, it wouldnt be on its death march.
Now that you mention it, not only is the Bay Area the deFacto world capital of social media, we are also fast becoming the world capital of wireless communications with the Android and iPhone platforms being the ONLY TWO smartphone technologies to see a rise in market share over the last year, meanwhile Toronto based RIM is seeing its market share decline.
If your inclined to be fed media to you by some huge corporation with pre-packaged shows and whatnot, then the Bay Area is not the center of action, sorry.
But if we are talking about the ability of ANYONE to get the message out to BILLIONS of people around the world for FREE-then the Bay Area is the heart of that social and media movement.
Don't like it? Well tough.
