Post Reply: What was the reaction to hippie movement in 60s?

To get background, google the "beatnik" movement of the 50's, also refd. to as "the Beat Generation". It was mainly centered in NYC. The hippie movement grew from that.

Your asking me to think about something that's 50 years back. You've got to help me by giving me some specifics.

In Philly, hippies were mainly in the area of South Street, Lombard st.
In Los Angeles, it was "Haight-Ashbury. That location was made famous by the Life Mag. article in 1968. That was about the "Summer of Love". It was mostly high school and college kids.
By 68, there were only a few real hippies left in H-A. Most were of a group refd to as "diggers".

Man! You've got me thinking about stuff I haven't thought about in many years.
