Serving OB, the Peninsula and San Diego Beaches
Back in the late Sixties in San Diego, there was only 3 local TV stations and TV 8 (the future CBS8) was one of them. And one of their best reporters was Harold Keen – who later wrote for San Diego Magazine during its hey-day.
In this video from the past, 1969, Keen does a story on OB’s Inbetween, a youth drop-in center on Newport Avenue.

I worked at the Inbetween part-time for a year, I believe, in 1973. Counselor- janitor, you name it, I did it.
I recall very clearly one day, I was making a stew for the kids in the main room, when 2 cops walked into the crowded area, and slowly strolled through — and meanwhile, Nixon was on our black and white telling us, “I am not a crook.”
