Focus on San Francisco Neighborhoods - Haight
The Haight as described on the SFResidence neighborhood guide:"Haight-Ashbury is filled with Victorians and is the home of the most famous corner in hippiedom, Haight & Ashbury. Legendary musical groups such as the Grateful Dead at 112 Lyon Street and singer Janis Joplin's pad on Buena Vista Park have helped make this."
SFGate says, "If there's any area of San Francisco that evokes images of the long-gone '60s hippie culture, the Haight is it. Fragments of that flower-power, incense-burning, acid-dropping, tie-dye-wearing, peace-and-love-vibing era can be purchased at smoke shops and Eastern-influenced outlets bearing names like Dreams of Kathmandu, Pipe Dreams and The Love of Ganesha. But save for a few hippie relics, the Haight today is a whole new scene. Exclusive boutiques, high-end vintage-clothing shops, second-hand stores, Internet cafés and hip restaurants have all settled in, making the Haight one of San Francisco's commercial centers."
