I really don’t know. Last time I spent any time there was in 69 when I was headed out Westward. I am fortunate to have seen the likes of those times. Haight-Ashbury, hippie squalor, peace-love-dove, et al.......(not).....regardless, it probably was much better than the likes of the debauchery that permeates that cesspool now.
Bet you didn't get too far before you fell in the ocean.....lol....sorry..couldn't resist.
By ‘69 the essence of the Haight was decidedly gone!
