A PARANOID-WHACK-JOB HIPPIE YELLED AT ME FOR TAKING PICTURES OF HIS BOOKSTORE


While showing my friend Barb the Haight/Ashbury neighborhood we discovered a crazy old hippie dude who runs a books store. This part of town hosts a bunch of unique shops...for my Chicago friends it's like a larger Belmont and Clark Street.

They still have hippies running around who are still crazy paranoid. The guy who owns this book shop saw me taking pictures of Barb in the shop. He yelled something at me and slammed the front door of the store. You can barely see him in the left corner of the photo above. My friend got out of the store after he yelled at her because she was with me and she met me around the corner so we could compare stories. We just determined he is a total paranoid whack job.

We continued to shop and I noticed that he was following us. He kept starring at me for a few blocks. He stopped after I asked him if he had a problem and gave him an I will kill you look - one of my favorite looks to give a crazy person.

Fun story, glad it didn't end up with any drama in hippie dippie land!
