Definitely NOT a hippy haven. Many of the head shops are being forced closed because the campus area is becoming “revitalized” (read: influx of money, respectability, and high price residences and stores). Also, the Police Department issued a warning to Columbus citizens and business that Phish was a “cult” and to avoid serving those that were in town for the concert. Columbus is fast becoming an anti-hippy haven.
I have never been to a place such as this. They literally worship 60’s music. Such as, Jonis Joplin,Lynard Skynard,The Steve Miller Band and others. It is probably a 60’s town also and needs to be placed in your map of hippie places. The people have long hair, dress in flares and hippie clothing.
Cooleemee is a small town but we have a gathering place called the bull hole which is a dam.. people gather and relax and free their mind ….lots of weed smoking here…lots of hippies here that have grown up here and stay all their life…it is a great town come and visit.
Nestled in the blue ridge parkway, it is a quiet mountain town full of peace, love and hemp. A wonderful place for hippies to go.not only do they have great nugs there but they also get some off the wall trip.its also very peaceful and u dont have to worry bout the police. 🙂
“Undoubtedly one of the kindest places on the East Coast. Nice nuggets, a lively and experimental music scene, and the overall friendly atmosphere make this town a must for nomadic freaky friends! I’ll see you when I roll through town.”
“One thing i have noticed over the past few years is that the hippies have gotten richer. a lot are weekend hippies now! there are a lot of unique and awesome people here, and then again there are a lot of rich people too…”
In the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, North of Binghamton, 20 minutes from Ithaca. It’s home to the annual hippie Fingerlakes Grassroots music festival! It’s also home of the Rongovian Embassy Bar and Restaurant which is always happy to host Dead cover bands and any other kind scene.
Located North of Buffalo, it is within a few miles of Niagra Falls. Being just upstream this is a popular place for boating and there are marinas and dockside establishments along that stretch of the Niagra River.
Formerly a factory town, the mills have long closed and were a major effort to clean up from environmental pollution.
Home to State University of NY at New Paltz, this small town has a sizable hippy community as well as students. The young feeling is a refreshing change from upstate NY’s older crowd. “There are just as many real hippies there as there are in Woodstock, N.Y. I know this because I am a long hair dreded hippy that lives near by both of these locations. The good thing about New Paltz is that it isn’t nearly as hyped up as Woodstock. This provides for a nice relaxing atmosphere.”
Ithaca has one of the largest hippie populations in New York State. It has natural beauty and is crawling with old and new hippies. It’s home to many communes, head shops, natural groceries, drum circles, and kind bud. Ithaca has a sizeable college population.
