I live in the Bay Area and; therefore, have frequented San Francisco as I was born there. I have been by haight and ashbury many times, and I recently learned its historical value and representation of the hippie movement in the 60’s. I remember taking this picture of my friend when we were shopping in the city on haight, which I found coincidental since we were learning about hippies this week. It is now a park where the homeless and drug abusers call home, no where near the greatness it was in its hay day.
