My grandfather used to drive us through there to "have a look at those goddamned hippies". He was quite unhappily surprised one night to run into one of my cousins there!I remember Plum Street and I am not a brain-addled old hippie! I am only in my mid-40's. My parents on the other hand were almost hippies, but were probably 5-10 years older. They would take us there to go to the candy stores, the stores selling macrame, the record stores, and candle places.
Thanks for this thread. I, too, recently learned about these parks and wanted to know more about them. Anyone have any photographs of them, especially of more recent vintage?
1953
Here is a photo my friend dug out of a book somewhere of Crawford.
