"what was it about SF that drew so many hippies back in the 60's? why there instead of somewhere else?" Interesting question. I really don't know. I was there going to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and so was somewhat on the periphery of the whole hippie thing. People did come from everywhere though to be part of all that. It would be interesting to know some of the reasons why.
