The Counter Culture Tour: Haight & Ashbury's Summer of Love

Believe it or not, the 'Summer of Love' started with big homes and cheap rent. On this hour-long tour of Haight-Ashbury we'll explore the other reasons this old Victorian neighborhood attracted a youth movement that revolutionized the U.S, as well as visiting the homes that hosted some of its most influential figures.

We'll stop at the Grateful Dead's house and at Amoeba Records, and immerse ourselves in the music and memories of the 'Summer of Love'.

We’ll also discuss the ways the hippie spirit lives on in the neighborhood when we stop at the Janis Joplin Mural and poke our heads into the landmark Piedmont Boutique - one of the oldest and most beloved shops in the neighborhood.
