Photo Gallery: Haight-Ashbury District

When I first visited the Haight-Ashbury district in the late 1990s, it still retained most of the culture that made it famous. I've noticed that the last decade has brought a bit of gentrification, most visible in the trendy clothing shops that have replaced the alternative-lifestyle stores that were there in the past. I return every time I visit San Francisco so I can stop at Amoeba Music, housed in a former bowling alley.
