Perspective: People’s Park, born out of the tumult of the late 1960s, is no more
"The park still exists. However, the days when a human grab bag of disoriented drug users, teenagers, transients, drunks, drug dealers, disaffected locals, and wayward hippies roamed the lot are long past. Walk past the park nowadays and you are lucky to see one or two people eating on one of the benches or milling about."
