SF a Series: Reliving that Summer

Thanks to the Summer of 67. Without it, we would never get such a wonderful alternative shopping concept. The whole street actually lacked familiar brand names, which actually make shopping even more interesting. It is like you go in every shop browsing through their stuff and surprise you find something you like for the price you can afford.

Despite rapid gentrification, the neighborhood still retains its hippy charm. The Victorians here are by far more colorful and creatively decorated than others around the city. The bold and daring designs clearly edges out the much raved about Painted Ladies. If only these houses has a view of the city as well, guess Haight district would replace Alamo Square on those postcards we send.

Took a bus down to the neighboring Japantown right after to get ourselves a well deserve dinner after that long shopping workout. Apart from the Peace Pagoda and food, the place looked similar to any ordinary neighborhood. Still, the ramen is Ooosshhiiii!
