   B. Haight-Ashbury is in San Fancisco.

   The district is famous for its role as a center of the 1960s hippie movement, a post-runner and closely associated offshoot of the Beat generation or beat movement, members of which swarmed San Francisco’s “in” North Beach neighborhood two to eight years before the “Summer of Love” in 1967. Many who could not find space to live in San Francisco’s northside found it in the quaint, relatively cheap and underpopulated Haight-Ashbury. The ’60s era and modern American counterculture have been synonymous with San Francisco and the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood ever since.
