Neon Rose #15
"In the Spring of 1967, the SF police were cracking down in the Height-Ashbury neighborhood. “Dirty garbage pails” was the reason they gave for their strong arm and suppressing tactics. The neighborhood fought back with a "Clean in" and these posters hung in just about every window...A wonderful sight for me!"
