Blast from the past... Haight-Ashbury LIVES!!

By seafarin on Aug 31, 2008
4/5
It was pronounced 'Haightashbury' (one word) in the 60's. I was there, in the 'Summer of Love'. It was 1967, when two friends and I hitch hiked from L.A. to San Fran. Not bad for three girls from New England, branching out for the first time. It's a miracle...

Be aware and stay on the better half....

There are two distinct parts of Haight Street, divided by Divisadero Street. The Upper Haight is more touristy and we could still see some evidence of the hippy revolution of the 60’s. There are still some cute shops and head shops. The Lower Haight is not the...

San Francisco’s hippie Haight Street remains as one of the most attractive places in the city, especially for teenagers. With its collection of unique stores, you can find many one-of-a-kind items if you want to stand out from the crowd. There are many second-...

of the infamous pairing with Ashbury

By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
3/5
I'm half disappointed half impressed that they've turned the place from "be a hippie" into "buy a hippie," but I shouldn't have . I'd say skip it and head down to fisherman's wharf. Better food down there and fewer college students pretending to be hippies....

Infamous Street Holds on to Past

What else can be said about Haight Street? It's the infamous hippy hangout, and funny enough, you'll still see kids in tattered scarves and military jackets begging for quarters outside the novelty shops that line this street. There are some decent aspects of...

A neat and historic place

Haight Street is the home of the old hippie culture of the 60's- though nowadays mostly commercialized, it is still an interesting and fun street to visit, and definitely one of the places you must see if you visit San Francisco. Full of interesting shops, pla...
