I was a freelance photographer in the early 70's, and displayed my images in a bakery shop window just yards away from today's Harvey Milk Plaza... I use to have my film developed at
Harvey's camera shop and we became friends. The best way to describe 575 Castro St when Harvey had the store... it was like a small town's general store, with out the potbelly stove.
People came in to discuss politics, pet Harvey's dog or comment on the never ending parade of good looking guys passing in front of the storefront window. I would like to recommend a site that is dedicated to the evolution of the Castro, and the times of Harvey
Milk. Unlike the "movie", it's not a recreation... it's the real thing!
