No Hate in Haight

The other day I went to the Haight-Ashbury district in SF for the first time. This place is best known for being the center of Hippie Counterculture in the city since the '60s. Since this year is the celebration of the 50th anniversary for the Summer of Love, which originated in the Haight, the district is really popular at the moment.

Haight-Ashbury is filled with street art, hippies, tons of smoke shops, meditation centers, and cool little antique and incense shops. I also found that the Haight has really good thrift shops. The style of the district is all about colorful bohemian clothing and jewelry, and there are tons of shops that have really cute clothing unique to the Haight district. I'm definitely going back here to shop, and will probably pick up a Halloween costume while I'm at it.

The mellow vibe and pace of Haight-Ashbury is something you're not going to find anywhere else but San Francisco. Check it out to get a taste of the hippie era in California.

Peace out,
