That’s where most of the hippies went after the 60’s, lol. One strange little town!
You mean the West Coast hippies.Most of the East Coast hippies went to Vermont.That would explain Dean,Jeffords and Sanders.
Amen! Last time I passed thru Bisbee, I was confronted by a line on the sidewalk just past the main square.
"Women In Black"...protesting the Iraq War. About two dozen straight-haired, wire-rimmed ladies dressed in black -- holding hands against a brick background. Standing motionlessly.
Interspersed among them were about ten men -- long-haired, wire-rimmed, dressed in black -- holding hands with the crazy ladies.
An Aged Hippie Tableau. They looked silly as hell. Committed. But silly.
Bisbee is not a city of adults.
Yes it is. I was there a few years ago in a bar having a beer. One of the locals (big dude and looked like a hippy) was offering to take the head off one of the other patrons in the bar. The other dude was trash talking Vietnam Vets. The big dude was a Vietnam Vet and pissed off big time.
What he said he would do with his head was definitely a felony and probably damn near impossible. It would have given a whole new meaning to the saying “pain in the ass.”
