With the 50th anniversary of the summer of love, here are a few interesting landmarks of the Haight and what they are today. Very few of the shops and destinations at the center of the summer of love exist today in large part because when the summer of love ended the Haight was basically in ruins and I suspect most buildings changed ownership. From what I've heard from people around at that time and from what I read at the Summer of Love exhibit at the DeYoung, about 100,000 youths descended on the Haight around 1967 (which is crazy given that the Haight-Ashbury area is only about 200 acres). After the youths came the tourists and the the whole movement sort of fizzled and the neighborhood that was left behind was in pretty dire straights. However, it's interesting to think about what the neightborhood must have been like fifty years ago...
The Straight Theater: 1702 Haight (torn down in 1981) - now appears to be the Goodwill on the corner of Haight and Cole
A Trip without a Ticket (Digger's Free Store): 901 Cole Street - is now Padrecitos Mexican Restaurant
The Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic: 558 Clayton Street - it's still there!
The Psychedelic Shop: 1535 Haight - now it's Slice Pizza Shop
The San Francisco Oracle (newspaper): 1371 Haight Street - I think it might be residential, but it looks like it might be above Bound Together Anarchist Collective Bookstore
