Estately.com has named Bisbee, Arizona as the top ten best place for hippies. Estately “set out to find communities where they’re heavily concentrated, as well as providing ideal habitat for the next generation of flower children.”
Estately developed a a formula “based on marijuana availability and legality, number of stores selling hemp, local counter-culture icons, tie-dye availability, hippie festivals, progressive government, intensity of Occupy protests, and a Facebook poll to determine the top spot for old radicals.
Estately described Bisbee as a “hippie-filled art colony,” where “some residents still live in updated caves in the middle of town, and it’s not unheard of to see naked folks in cowboy hats strolling the main street in the middle of the night.”
“In Bisbee, there’s no shortage of marijuana, which frequently wanders in across the nearby border with Mexico,” according to Estately. “There are a few pillars of the Bisbee business community who’ve spent some time in Mexican jails for attempting to bring pounds of weed back across the border, including the legendary local brewer Dave Harvan, whose Electric Brewing Company makes a damn good lager.”
