During the mid-1960s San Francisco was the centre of the American counter-culture. In this scenic, peninsula city, individuals seeded a new community — based in the Haight-Ashbury neighbourhood — that embraced sexual freedom, hallucinogenic drugs, and psychedelic music. These hippies were optimistic about life, concerned about the environment, interested in self-sufficiency, and open to a multitude of viewpoints (except that of mainstream, ‘straight’ culture, against which they were rebelling). They sought spiritual fulfilment by practising Eastern religions and they embraced the physical heritage of San Francisco's Victorian houses, vintage clothing, and funky antiques, all at affordable prices
