The Old Neighborhood


The oddest part of watching this movie is seeing inside the house they went to. That house was real, by the way, and was a 'hippie' commune of sorts during the 60's. Located on a street in what is now Korea Town in mid-Los Angeles, we all referred to it as "The Psychedelic Castle," a place our parents strongly warned us against! Ah, the memories...ah, the colors...

Any idea on what the place looks like today?

I was a kid in my early teens when this movie came out. As I recall, psychedelic lifestyle was entering the mainstream media. I was too young to indulge, but was fastinated with this unusual and dangerous lifestyle. It really didn't last very long. By the time it became popular, the ones using the drugs abandoned what Hollywood and the advertising industry had turned it into. This movies does have glints of what it was like to live back then.
