I happened to live in that area of Lafayette when I was a kid, in the late 70s - early 80s. From over the hill from my house, we could see all these purple buildings. I'm pretty sure that's the commune you're describing.
As kids we didn't really know what was going on over there, but we knew it was something a bit...unusual.
- samstave 3y agoYup, the "purple people" it was vics' wifes' personal farvorite color... so all the houses were purple... I have many stories. - - my dad was his personal body guard... if you want to hear crazy stories from the 1980s, Tahoe, and Cocaine and the bay area, ... uh... yeah... these bitches were flying TONS TONS did I make that specific? Tons into trukee ( south lake tahoe ) where do you think all the coke in vegas came from?
- duderific 3y agoYeah. I remember there was talk that it was a "nudist colony" so we'd peek over, hoping to see something ... but we never really did see any people outside the buildings. I was too young to really understand the hippie/drug angle so it didn't factor in, but now when I think back, yeah, makes a lot of sense.
