So I was talking with a friend of mine at lunch and the discussion made us realize that:
A: San Francisco is the Large Hadron Collider of California culture.
B: A blog post must be written on the snake.
Now don't get me wrong, I love San Francisco! It is a beautiful place and great city. Aside from it being smuggy as hell as shown in this South Park episode, it is a really cool place.
Now as far as the LHC reference, let me explain. San Fran is home to the largest Hippie population in the US. No seriously, it is. But what happens is these hippies end up getting jobs, driving hybrids (smug reference) and become a yuppie cross breed. (Yippies).
Seriously, look at the picture, how many Yuppies can paint like that? None, hippie cross breeding at it's finest.
Another point in the Yippie cross breads, are the Dave Matthews Band Fire Dancer stickers on hybrids.
We have seen these emblems right next to the Apple emblems of the vehicles of the San Francisco Yippies. I will flat out call you a liar and fraud if you can honestly say you have not seen it.
Now we move on to Berkeley. As Bill puts it you step on to campus, look down at your watch and the date instantly reads "1968". No shit. I have seen it happen. While I may poke fun at the hippies of Berkeley, dude seriously they are smart as hell. On Berkeley you will find many particle physicists. While they are stoned most of the time you will hear them say: "Dude...I unlocked the secrets of the universe." While you may be thinking "Hey I smoked the same stuff and thought the same thing 4 hours ago on my couch." That guy at Berkeley, probably did.
Next:
Here is a section of town where you will find great food, cool shopping, and a ton of both head shops, and hippies. Also do not be surprised when you see the dude on his roller blades, jamming on his iPod stop, and get down with a hippie drum circle. (Yeah it'll blow your mind.)
But all kidding aside, I love San Francisco, no telling what the hell you might see.

Surprisingly accurate.
While you've generalized to the extreme, I won't refute some of your observations; but your post leaves you with little credibility.
First, spell-check is your friend; there's three 'e's in Berkeley. Second, your placement of the Haight/Ashbury signs photo suggests that area is in Berkeley, not San Francisco.
Now don't get me wrong, I laughed at your "yippies" observations and found your post to be entertaining; but at the same time, stuff like I mentioned above makes me categorize you into the same unseemly lot of folks that refer to the city by the bay as "Frisco"... Please don't do that.
@Michael C.
Thank you sir for reading the post. Also I appreciate you pointing out my crappy spelling. Since there are many ways to spell Berkeley, Firefox's built in spell checker did not catch it. Thanks again, and I have corrected the issue.
