Haight Ashbury Haight Ashbury became a popular destination for rebellious teens starting around 1964 when they bussed out to California with little more than the clothes on their backs and pipe dreams of peace and free love in their hearts. To many it was alarming, bewildering, and inexplicable, but Haight Ashbury became a major appeal to this misunderstood youth. Ending in 1967 with the Summer of Love, the Haight Ashbury era was short-lived, but had long-lasting effects. pubpages.unh.edu /~rcarrera/haight.html   (225 words)

Old 21 - Neighborhood - Haight Ashbury The houses in the Haight were often constructed by a small number of developers and contractors who would buy up to a block of land, subdivide it into multiple lots and build identical houses. The Haight’s role as a weekend daytrip destination continued to govern the neighborhood’s economy until the early twentieth century when developers started looking into the possibility of subdividing the area with more single-family homes. These residences were often large, and geared towards the city’s wealthier population - sometimes referred to as San Francisco& “petit-bourgeoisie.” The Chutes were dismantled around 1900 and after the lake was drained Belvedere Street was extended past Waller to Haight and the land continued to be developed. www.sfmuseum.org /firestation/hoodha.html   (158 words)

Haight Street San Francisco But the Haight is not for the faint of art, as you are sure to be aggressively encouraged to contribute to the charity of others throughout your "trip".
