Haight Ashbury

Decades ago 100,000 hippies converged here for the Summer of

Love. Today, it is mostly a tourist destination. Shops sell what you

assume they’d sell: tie-dye clothing, Hindu/Buddhist parapherna-

lia, pot leaf everything...

There’s a few hippy wannabes wandering around. It seems that

dogs are the hot new neo-hippy accessory. Good to come and

sort of take a look around and try to imagine it decades ago, but

not worth a lot of your time and money.

Everything is colorful. From plenty of graffiti, boutiques advertis-

ing flowery fashion, lively sidewalk cafes and pricey juice bars, to

the quirky people walking the streets
