Christiania’s Endangered Hippies - Tonic

Christiania’s Endangered Hippies - Tonic:

"If you’ve ever wondered what the world might look like if the hippies of the 1960s and ‘70s hadn’t all morphed into yuppies trading their Volkswagon Bugs for SUVs, then behold Christiania — while you still can.

Also known as 'Freetown,' the self-governed village in the heart of Denmark’s capital city of Copenhagen is a living monument to the Woodstock era — a social experiment in communal living, itself teetering on the edge of extinction.

In Christiania, for all intents and purposes, it’s still the summer of love." Sphere: Related Content
