In 1993 ..I sold my business and decided to go to San Francisco,,ended up at Haight Ashbury where I came across to teen age girls sleeping in a Doorway .
One sez to the other “It wouldent be so bad if it werent for the lice ! ” I figured hippie wasent something I missed ! It was something I had avoided …I enjoyed the rest of California …I spent 6 weeks there from San Diego to San Fran ..over to Lake Tahoe then back to San Fran and flew home..My son lives in San Diego through today ..Now he’s got 4 children and they are having a difficult time finding a living wage there,,,,NO HIPPIES anymore !
