SCRATCHPAD
Th ank you and goodbye
By ALYSSA EVANS
COAST WEEKEND EDITOR
As the North Coast, the Long Beach
Peninsula and the rest of the world con-
tinue adjusting into the newest stage of the
coronavirus pandemic, an abundance of
change is present on the coast.
The coastal arts and entertainment
scene has continued to adapt during the
past year-and-a-half. When venues closed,
shows were held virtually. After events
were initially canceled in March 2020, they
were adapted to be held virtually or under
WEBB
ment in a future edition of Coast Weekend.
Please continue sending event information,
story ideas and questions to editor@coast-
weekend.com.
Thank you all for your help and support
during my tenure as editor of Coast Week-
end. It’s been an honor to serve the com-
munity and help inform you about regional
arts and entertainment.

focusing on individual needs, the arts com-
munity rallied together in many ways —
even collaborating through a regional coa-
lition of arts organizations.
As events calendars continue to be
dusted off and fi lled up, in-person gather-
ings, shows and events are being held once
again. The local arts and entertainment
scene is in good hands and will continue to
thrive, thanks to the support of organiza-
tion leaders and local residents.
This is my last issue as editor of Coast
Weekend. After living in the area for three
years and working at both the Chinook
Observer and The Astorian, I’ve been priv-
