If Peter were still alive, I would have forwarded to him this interesting article from the LA Times about the Haight in San Francisco. If the link doesn't work for you and you want the article, let me know and I will e-mail the article to you. Or sign up as an LAT on-line subscriber, which is free and easy.

Peter lived in the Haight in the 1960's and those b&w pix of him that most of you have seen were mostly taken in the a basement of where he lived in the Haight. I sure would like to ask him what he thinks of all this.

And if Peter was still alive, you would not be reading this, since I wouldn't have a blog. So let's dispense with the hypotheticals.

I have only spent a day in the Haight once as an adult...it's a fascinating place, perhaps more so for me because of my parents' "roots" there. No further comment from me is necessary...check out the article.
