Fenster wrote: “The Summer of Love and the hippie revolution were primarily centered on remaining outside the taint of the major societal forces of war and greed. Dreams were cultivated spiritually and chemically. The post-WWII years of repressive ideas, clothing and regimentation exploded into a wide array of color and music and dance, expressions of both individ- ual dreams and visions of a society which nurtured cre- ativity and personal liberty to the utmost, while taking consideration of the environ- ment in a sustainable way. “Now, decades later, the tie dye clothes are as tattered 240 11TH STREET ASTORIA, OR 97103 861-3305 Mon-Fri, 8 am -5 pm 389 NW 13 th St. Warrenton
