.....but you might read about it on a flyer here.

Trish and I wandered to Haight St this afternoon. The summer of love was coming to an end exactly 40 years ago, and I suspect that this telephone pole at the corner of Haight & Ashbury pre-dates that. It’s crazy to think about the thousands of flyers that must have been posted with these staples. Ads for Grateful Dead shows, Janis Joplin’s free concerts in Golden Gate Park, ‘Lost Cat’, ‘Roommate Wanted’, ‘Down with Nixon/Reagan/Clinton/Bush etc’. I wonder how many years a rusty staple lasts.
