In 1968, Newsweek reported an imminent threat of twenty thousand
hippies descending on Portland, Oregon. Although the numbers were
exaggerated, Portland did boast a vibrant 1960s culture of
disenchanted and disenfranchised individuals seeking social and
political revolution. Barefoot and bell-bottomed, they hung out in
Portland's bohemian underground and devised a better world. What
began in coffee shop conversations found its voice in the
Willamette Bridge newspaper, KBOO radio station and the Portland
State University student strike, resulting in social, artistic and
political change in the Rose City. Through these stories from the
counterculture, author Polina Olsen brings to life the
beat-snapping Caffe Espresso, the incense and black light posters
of the Psychedelic Supermarket and the spontaneous concerts and
communal soups in Lair Park.
