Media Beat: Curbed Network Founder Lockhart Steele: 'We Look For Niches Where We Can Be A Little Bit Weird'

Curbed Network founder and president Lockhart Steele didn’t necessarily mean for Curbed to become his full-time job. “Somehow it became a job when all I really thought it was going to be was be a hobby,” he told us. His company includes the well-known blogs Curbed, Eater, Racked, and Gridskipper, along with local and national versions.
