Haight-Ashbury

Today we wandered around the Haight-Ashbury area, labeled "Hashbury" in The New York Times during the 'Summer of Love'. 'The mainstream media's coverage of hippie life in the Haight-Ashbury drew the attention of youth from all over America'.

The Amoeba music store can be found towards to the end of the strip and is still a big pull for people far and wide due to their amazing record collection! We tried to find Sol's Dad (folk singer 'Steve Ashley') in amongst the records, unfortunately he wasn't there but the store had heard of him, when we asked responding "ah Steve Ashley - he would be in the British folk section!"
