Lombard Street, San Francisco, California

Lombard Street, San Francisco, California

For this week, I thought I’d offer this fun stretch of street in San Francisco:


 

Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world.

I’m featuring it here for no good reason other than my enjoying visiting San Francisco, and that it was featured in a Pepsi commercial with some entertaining SFX.

This block of Lombard Street features eight switchbacks to facilitate vehicular traffic down the 27 degree grade.
