| Was there ever much of a hippie scene in New York City? Or was it more of a California/West Coast thing? |

| I always thought it was a west coast thing, but I guess that depends on the person. I know plenty of hippies on the east coast. But it was more televised on the west because of rally's and such. |

| I think whatever scene NYC boasted got drowned out by the debauchery (and I mean that in a good way) of the Disco era |

Interesting, I never thought of it as a "west coast only" thing
at all... it was widespread pretty much across the country.  |

I think in the UK it was put across in the media as being a bit of a Californian thing.
Or California was put across as being very hippy. |

I very much agree of what you've said. For me it's the west coast thing. |
