Cool music 😊So nice and clean. Cool place.
Nice walking tour showing all the murals, but for a warm afternoon I'm surprised the street was deserted?
Fellow Californian here. Thanks/Mahalo. Good work as always. Cheers.

Stanley Mouse made the Grateful dead posters
Janis Joplin is from not so great Port Arthur Texas. It’s just nasty chemical plants there
Groovy man and groovy baby
Glad you were not hurt by a psycho street person….
If only San Francisco were not so expensive, I would winter there upon retirement….

Everyone should already understand that San Francisco is a Russian city and everyone should live in San Francisco as Russian people, should smell well, look good and be polite, otherwise we will restore order.
I got out of high school in 1966, disappeared down into the Haight, where I discovered wine, drugs, and group sex. In fact, I was in my mid-30's before I realized group sex wasn't normal…"What, just the two of us?" Great times…buying The Berkeley Barb for $.15/copy and selling them on the tourist buses coming through for $.25 a copy…selling blood for $25 a pint at the old SF General, so we had vino (Red Mountain) and some smoke. Good times, good times…

Why don´t people from San Francisco try to integrate with other parts of the USA ? why do they all live in San Francisco ….
"if you going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flower on your hair." && maybe some hat with feather on.
You lucky man seeing the Circle Jerks, they were in Repo Man if I'm not mistaken?
8:34 I could only imagine the both dangerous and hilarious consequences of those stupid 'self driving' cars outright failing on people 😏
The hippies are LONG gone. Upper Haight is the last place you’d expect to feel any flower power. But it’s fun to head over there on weekends and hang out at Amoeba Records. The aggressive street people are starting to mellow a little this year, in spite of all the turmoil in the world and the crashing economy. And the Park is still beautiful.
