Haight and Ashbury


Images of tie-dye shirts and psychedelic drugs popped into my head when I arrived at the intersection of Haight and Ashbury streets. I wasn't there to heed Timothy Leary's advice and "turn on, tune in, drop out," but to see some relics from the "Summer of Love." Unfortunately, trendy boutiques and young squatters have taken over what was once a gathering spot for those rebelling against the political upheaval of the 1960s.
