Walking around Haight-Ashbury now is a lot different then if you were walking around there back in 1967. I felt now it is really commeralized. A lot of the stores sell the idea of the 1967 Haight-Ashbury. It felt almost like a tourist trap! Yet it still has an ambiance of peace, some really cool stores and artwork. The Summer of Love also brought in thousands of people. There are not thousands of people hanging out there now or in the Panhadle park anymore. The Summer of Love was just the perfect combination of being in a certain places, at a certain time, with a certain growing out-cry from a certain group of people. I had such a fantastic day and hope to go there again soon! Peace and Love!
