Located directly underneath the offices of the ''[[San Francisco Oracle]]'', at the exact corner of [[Haight Street|Haight]] and [[Ashbury Street]]s in [[San Francisco]], it was clearly a central experience to the lives of local residents. [[Ron and Jay Thelin]], who also bankrolled the ''Oracle'', opened it in [[1966]]. | Located directly underneath the offices of the ''[[San Francisco Oracle]]'', at the exact corner of [[Haight Street|Haight]] and [[Ashbury Street]]s in [[San Francisco]], it was clearly a central experience to the lives of local residents.

According to {{w|Peter Coyote}}'s [http://www.petercoyote.com/redhouse.html obituary for Ron Thelin], the Doctor's visit to The Head Shop must be viewed as a way in which the [[DWU]] is different from real life.

Thus the shop would not have been open for the Doctor to peruse in [[January]] [[1967]], when ''[[Wonderland]]'' is largely set. | According to {{w|Peter Coyote}}'s [http://www.petercoyote.com/redhouse.html obituary for Ron Thelin], the Doctor's visit to The Head Shop must be viewed as a way in which the [[DWU]] is different from real life.
