The Peachtree Strip Project Do you believe The Summer of Love was 43 years ago? And July 2010 was forty years after the Byron Pop Festival? As the walrus said, “the time has come to talk of many things...” The landscape is changing, people and memories are fading; it’s time to tell the tales. Already many Atlantans are unaware of the story of Atlanta’s own time when the Hippie tribe roamed the Earth around the Peachtree Strip and Piedmont Park. Surprise! We’re still here, a bit less flamboyant and a bit more aged and wrinkled, but still dancing joyously and letting our Freak flags fly on occasion. Brothers and Sisters, we need to get our story down right before "The Man’s” official version is the only one available to the future. No one of us has the story. The story was that there were suddenly all of us visible at once.
 

1968...ch-ch-changes. We are honored to be involved in the 1968 Project headed by the Minnesota Historical Society. Please check their website about the future exhibit.
