Is Haight-Ashbury worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Haight-Ashbury works.

The famous Haight/Ashbury street sign, psychedelic storefronts, record and vintage shops, and Grateful Dead history baked into the Victorians. The catch: it's more retail-and-nostalgia than living counterculture now, and the strip has a rough, panhandled edge.
