So much more than a bunch of sharp corners

There are two things that I really love about Lombard St. The first is that it takes you down to Telegraph Hill, but that's for another review. The second, is probably the what Lombard St is most famous for - The "Bring Your Own Big Wheels" downhill extravaganza! Bet you didn't see that coming :)...

Keeps you spinning!

Not for the faint of heart. This is also referred to as the crookedness street in the world. It only goes one way and driving down this street is quite an adventure, especially with a stick shift car. Be sure to turn around and look back and enjoy the view.

I'm not prone to visiting tourist attractions, unless they are part of the local color, folklore, or something homespun. BUT, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do it. Lombard St. is one of those things you have to see, at least once. But once is never enough. It's like going to the t...

OK, it is the most touristy part of Russian Hill, but it is fun to drive down it and also worth it for the view at the top. You can see the bay and Alcatraz, and the flowers and shrubs are beautiful. Also, if you walk around the area, you can see some pretty little lanes that have staircases to the...

One of San Francisco's most famous streets known for the crooked street!

24/05/2008 22:15:29 -07:00

Lombard Street is probably one of San Francisco’s most famous streets. Although it is mainly known for being the world’s most crooked street, there’s also much more to Lombard than the short one block that is actually crooked. It is actually a fairly long street and a good portion of it is also an e...

except for the switchbacks and flowers, it's entirely forgettable

15/05/2008 20:17:16 -07:00

The switchbacks are all downhill (it'd be much more fun to watch some kid learn to drive a manual transmission up the street rather than down it) and it seems to always be packed with traffic. The flowers are entirely transitory as well -- in fact they were dead and brown when I saw the street. An...
