Some local Atlanta folks are organizing an exhibit of Life on the Strip. They wrote they would like to hear from:
People who were hippies or are interested in hippies or this era (1967 - 1977) of great change in The South. Do you have some memories you'd like to share? Or some pictures of folks on The Strip or in The Park during those days of change for Atlanta and the world? Does your older brother or your parents? We are interested in anything. Posters, film, recording, anything you think should be shared. Let's 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 all of us at once. Can you contribute your part?

I had my picture taken all the time on the strip during this period; maybe I can find something of me and my friends. On second thought, do I want to see some of those pictures?Related:* Voices From The Underground (Press) -
History and
images, featuring East Village Other, Berkeley Barb, The Seed, etc.
* "The Summer of Love lasted three years in the South. I tried to capture some of that spirit in these photographs. They were shot over a 30 month period and many were originally published in The Great Speckled Bird, Atlanta's underground / anti-war newspaper." Photography by
Carter Tomassi, Berkeley, CA, who has also worked on many major film projects. (let us not forget The Cockettes)
