I will write about Jerry Cimino, the subject of my Midterm and Profile assignment.

Jerry Cimino owns the Beat Museum on Broadway in the red light district in North Beach, and he is proud to be one of the few entertainments and places on Broadway that isn’t a night club, but a museum housing a collection of Beat culture, art, and literature, an important culture that led up to the wave of the hippies.

Cimino is important because he owns the only known Beat Museum, and because he has a true passion for what he does. He seems like an active member of the society and that a lot of people in the neighborhood seem to know him and think positively of him. Cimino stays in SF often, but has a home in Monterey also, a place where Jack Kerouac loved.

Other than for lovely young women dancers and good food, tourists can have another reason to stop by North Beach and Broadway while seeing pier 39. Simply googling North Beach will suggest a visit to the Beat Museum.
