for the worse. Always seen by the angry right as "unAmerican," the
town is now all too patriotic. Here the once radical spot, a rare

I miss the black flags. And see how Old Glory isn't being burned or
desecrated, but instead waved in celebration of the presidential
state. I still love this town, but if this continues, I might have to

for me to fall asleep at a reasonable hour. Marching in the streets,

the counterculture. This is not good.
