The straight merchants of Haight Street sold necessities, but the hip shops smelled of incense, the walls were hung with posters and paintings, and the counters were laden with thousands of items of nonutilitarian nonsense - metal jewelry, glass beads, underground magazines, photographs of old-time movie stars, colored chalk, kazoos, Halloween masks, odd bits of stained glass, and single shoes."
