The true hippies would say it was already gone by 1966, when Madison Avenue started to catch notice of the hippie culture.

More typical 'RAT voters in formal attire on the streets of San Francisco..

There was a ton of zot material on that link....more than a couple of tons, especially on the street festival area.

“Zot-material” = DemocRATS all.

Correct! - ‘66 was probably the peak with the Sidewalk Musicians, but the rest was definately corrupted.

[Eagle Eye]

Thank you. Always thought the term assless chaps to be irritatingly redundant.

I lived there 2 years in the late 90’s....I prefer to call my neighborhood lower nob hill. Taxi drivers considered it the upper tenderloin ;) I never saw dead bodies or gross stuff - even in the scuzzier areas. Even on Polk street, weirdness but nothing outrageous. (And I skipped the Folsom Street fair)

The very grossest thing was a combo of smell/sight - a homeless guy came into the laundry mat we were at and seriously stripped down and put everything in the washer with no detergent. But when I saw his green grody toenails I nearly lost it. When the smell reached across the room, I did actually lose it.

The friend I was with had to go get my laundry....I couldn’t ever use that laundromat again.

As near I can tell, yes, that’s him!

Not surprisingly, Hate Man used to be a New York Times reporter.
Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up.
