Rambling observations on books, history, movies, transit, obsolete technology, baseball, and anything else that crosses my mind.

Summer of Love 50 -- Zeitgeist, Market Street -- June 23, 2017
The San Francisco Arts Commission (http://www.sfartscommission.org/) has set up a series of posters by artist Deborah Aschheim. "The Zeitgeist" is part of a larger series for the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love. The posters in The Zeitgeist represent people involved in the Spring Mobilization against the War in Vietnam on 15-April-1967.
Vanguard was founded by a group of gay and transgender young people to fight against discrimination. Their 1966 Market Street cleanup referred to the sweeps conducted by the police against homeless young people. I like the brooms.
