@Fernie: kids don't know how much fun it was
Fernie · F
@mrmoose: No clue! It'll never happen again

@Fernie: nope, i was in san francisco for 3 years by 1967, best music, best smoke
Fernie · F
@mrmoose: and I vividly remember ..that year...wanting so badly to go to CA where it was all HAPPENING

@Fernie: it was great fun, but within a couple years it became not so fun, i remember seeing greyline tours of the haight, tourists taking pics of the freaky hippies, and very young run aways arriving with no money, food or street knowledge
Fernie · F
@mrmoose: Yes, I heard many similar stories through the years from people who made it to the West Coast...still...it was an awakening like no other

@Fernie: indeed, i was there 1964 to 1970, best time of my life, i was a 16 yo runaway, grew up about 50 miles south of the city

@Fernie Me too Fernie, and after I finally made it to California I cried every night to go back home. CA killed my brother.😭

@Peaches CA sucks in general imo...I lived in LA in '75...nightmare. I believe you when you say it killed your brother...and I am SO sorry about that Peaches.

@Fernie Yes, we were young when we got there. We thought Hollywood would be paved in gold but it was dirty and awful?!😞There were hookers, drug addicts and worse! My brother turned to drugs to numb out the loneliness he felt in the big city and it killed him.💉😵I truly feel if we had never left the country he'd still be alive today.😭

@Peaches sorry, i saw that happen to many in san fran, too many, and lots of young kids trafficed
Peaches · F
@mrmoose I know.😢

@Peaches That's a very hard thing to carry around all of your life. I've lost people to drugs too but a brother is different
Peaches · F
@Fernie Yes, there's been a few tragic deaths in my family.😞Sometimes I think there's a curse on our family.🌹
