Haight-Ashbury
Keep on truckin' southwest of downtown and you'll hit
Haight-Ashbury ('the Haight'), the locus of San Francisco's
brief fling as the home of flower power in the late 1960s.
Today, the Haight is still colorful, but its pretty
Victorian houses and proximity to Golden Gate Park have
prompted increasing gentrification. The compact
Castro,
to the southeast, is the gay center of San Francisco and one
of the best neighborhoods for strolling and watching the
streetlife.
