Wonderful, easy to use app that provided unique informations and perspective for Greenwich Village. We were teens during these years so had an emotional reaction to this tour and seeing actual locations to match our memories of this time.

I would say we are the perfect demographic for this tour (yes, old hippies), but the history of the gay rights movement tied in with the early protest and folk music made the buildings come alive.
