Killing time in Buffalo

"Set in Buffalo, N.Y., during the "love summer" of 1967 with its drug-induced frolicking, Renee and Fran, university students, have chosen to spend the summer in one of the run-down apartment buildings that face Days Park, a Haight-Ashbury for those who can't afford airfare to San Francisco. The two girls have swallowed whole the vague rhetoric of an escapist hippie generation to whom money is vulgar but shoplifting is a political act."--Publisher's Weekly.
