In this article, I want to share the story of Haight Ashbury and its transition from a small town with beautiful Victorian homes, to its deterioration in the 1960s. The importance of a farm in Woodstock, to the Cultural Revolution and how everything spread from there, including the role of radio and television in spreading news of the hippie movement and how it attempted to free the culture from its ideals and moral standards it just brought him with no standards or moral compass, and all they had left was thought to be an idea of the summer of love. Haight Ashbury and its history have been a surprising phenomenon for many visitors. I found that many people came to see the art, learn about the culture, and even hear about the type of music everyone was obsessed with. Haight has been called a "vibrant hippie story" for its bright colors and very artistic buildings. In 1967, Haight formed the famous golden age, which included the infamous "Summer of Love". This "Summer of Love" included a very psychedelic movement of experimentation and peaceful protests. The way Haight Ashbury died out was caused by a fall, but it was originally a neighborhood of revolutionaries, famous singers and cult leaders. I observed this fall and found that it was caused by people destroying and abandoning it. It later became filled with homeless people and drugs. Why does the Haight have an “artistic” culture? Well, I can tell you. In the 1960s, artists from spiritual groups, bands, and famous musicians descended on Haight Asbury to express their creativity. Fueled by drugs, this often gave the artists and participants a bad name. Local filmmakers and independent artists would showcase their film work at the Red Vic Theatre. Artists would be... at the heart of the paper ......and hippie philosophy, the many people attracted to Haight Ashbury were teenagers, college students, members of the military, and vacationers. Many were attracted to the area because of the radios playing popular songs and the mainstream media and newspapers because of the interest in hippie culture. Rivaled by all those hoping to find a place with a perfect culture, the area deteriorated. Homelessness, drug problems and crime have left many with broken lives and shattered dreams.
