The Fillmore and Avalon were not on Haight or Ashbury, so not really relevant. They were not even close. Try the other side of the park. Several miles away. I don't know what you think was being sold on Haight-Ashbury, but the most expensive item was probably a hit of $5 acid.
If you think Haight-Ashbury made San Francisco, you have it backwards. The liberal attitude of San Francisco allowed Haight-Ashbury to exist.

When kids start suggesting that they have some idea of what was happening in MY youth, then I prefer to let them explain how it is they know more about it than I do.
