God's PEACE to you bro,
Thanks Roseman. I was a bit longwinded in my reminiscing, but it's important to spread the tale of what a hip scene The Strip in Atlanta was.

Matter of fact there's a site called "The Strip Project" to preserve memories of those days. And I believe they are having a public showing sometime this Summer. You should contribute Roseman. Especially if you have any photos or other memorabilia. You seem to have a lot of recollections and you might meet some old friends.

I visited Atlanta a lot in those days but never actually lived there. I turned 15 in 1970 and we would sneak away on Weekends, hang out on the strip and park (as seen in photo below), score and head home with the goodies.

When I turned 17 I hi-tailed it to California, to get the hell out of the South. But now I actually regret not living on the Strip for a few months at least. The place is legendary now.

Take care

Dan the Man

Here's a good site with Memories of the Atlanta Pop Festival and the Peachtree and 10th Hippie Scene.

And a very interesting Article from Time Magazine, October '69 on Atlanta trying to crack down on the arriving Hippie Scene near Piedmont Park.

I love all you old hipster foggies lol.

My grandma is about twenty or thirty years older than you Roseman. Was never a hippy from anything I've been told or seen, proper house wife, grandpa drove truck and farmed all his life. Heres where the funny part comes in though. Ever since they were about mid twenty they've been growing and smoking weed.

To this day they still do, I used to smoke with them all the time. Hilarius business, I've even gotten growing tips from them and shared some I've discovered here as well.
It's a awesome experience to meet you awesome old people who connect where it matters in life. And I don't just mean marijuana

I'm not an ole hippie(24) but I know an old southern hippie that grew up in Memphis. That man has some cool stories. And I got to smoke hash for the first time because of him.

I am 60 year old and around age 30, I persuaded my dad, he was about 50 then, to smoke. He grew his hair out and smoked daily and almost gave up his daily cocktail.
