Dang. I guess I will, next time we go home (Brenham).

I remember when we'd boat down the river back in the day and you'd see Hippie Hollow over on the side with naked hippies on the banks.

hippie hollow is still there, but it's on a lake, not a river.

Oh, man...I understand. My old apartment was on a busy street so whenever they made repairs on it, they did it--you guessed it--at night. Since my bedroom happened to be on the front of the building just a couple yards from the street, and it had almost an entire wall of (uninsulated, turn-of-the-century style) windows, I was treated to a symphony of truck engine noises, banging, and jackhammering alllllll night long. They only worked on the street about three times while I lived there, but once they were apparently doing something pretty complicated because it took them several weeks to finish the job. I'm glad I don't live there anymore!

Try going to Barton Springs. There's this old man wearing a tiny little speedo always doing yoga in the same exact spot. Also there's bound to be a few topless ladies (not the good kind) with hairy pits and at least one person playing the tambourine.

Ugh, I don't ever WANT to see any more naked hippies, ever. They looked like the people you just described.

I got my SCUBA certifications diving at Windy Point and Hippie Hollow. As odd as the view is above water in the latter location- you would be amazed what can be found on the lake bottom.

This great city still has a bit of a hippie infestation- but thankfully the value of that movement is reflected in the lack of future generations' adoption of its principles.

LMAO. on my campus, there were these 2 women who sold hippie jewelry and scarves and other random junk on a street corner. they set up a table in front of their myster machine/pedophiler looking van and wore these copper looking rings.

maybe their metro/city hippies?
