Great Place for Pictures

Great Place for Pictures

Head on over to Lombard Street and where people drive down the crooked, one-block section, and if you have a car you can drive down it yourself. On a busy day, a seemingly endless stream of automobiles and scooters buzz down, their passengers squealing in mock fear at every turn. If you’re on foot, you can walk down (or up) the sidewalks and watch, but be sure to bring a camera because you’ll be in for a show.
