We went to Haight-Ashbury and enjoyed exploring it. Its a nice area, with unique features and stores. Its where the hippie generation had a major role. It is where one will see huge legs hanging from a window. One will see intriguing wall murals. You will see the corner road side of Haight-Ashbury. There is the former home of Jimi Hendrix. There are fun stores to go to such as Amoeba Music, There are restaurants and cafes such as Cha Cha Cha.

You can't get inside but I was in the neighborhood for dinner early so I stood out front to take it in and bonded with some traveling Dead Heads who were there to capture the moment as well. Friendly neighbors informed us that but this house is in walking distance to Janis Joplin's old home. Just strolling around Haight Ashbury was inspiring trip back in time to the Summer or 69.

This is an important part of the city, stretching from the Civic Center through the historic African American Western Addition, now totally gentrified, and then on to Buena Vista Park, with all the beautiful buildings, and then the Haight with all the craziness which still exists, sort of. Lots to see and experience.

I happened to walk to this park while in San Fransisco this time. The park has a lot of ways to climb up to the top. The area on the top is a good place to meditate. The view is blocked because of the trees but you still get a good view. When you get down, you can go to the Height street where there are a lot of restaurants and shops.
