Problems with this article

To me it reads like a person's point of view. Also, it reads like a travelogue. The references are from a blog and a forum post; the rest are dead except for the last one. I think the article needs fixing. Thanks, Soranoch (talk) 23:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

It also seems inaccurate. There seems to be a desire to turn it into an actual path instead of what it was, which was following the path of like-minded individuals and their drugs. Tangier, especially the Zone, was a major part of that (Davies (2009), p. 120), even if it wasn't part of a straight line anywhere else. — LlywelynII 00:49, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Berlin

I find it strange that West Berlin, an exclave 'island' surrounded by the DDR entirely, remains in the text, when, in my time, (early 80s) it was Munich that was much more important acting as the funnel for travellers to congregate in and use as a staging post before moving further eastwards.

You read it in Wikipedia!

So it must be true. hippie-dippie edit Fabrickator (talk) 00:05, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
