Tourists
Do you recognize this tourist spot in San Francisco?
It is Lombard Street or otherwise known as the "Crookedest Street in America" and probably the most traveled street in San Francisco by tourists.
Why the crooked street?
Because of the hill's 27% natural grade, back in 1922, they thought it was safer to design the road into a switchback formation and pave it with bricks.
For walkers, there are stairs with hand railing on both sides of the street.
Even being a native San Franciscan, this was my first time walking up and down those stairs. I was a tourist too!

This is very interesting. Though I've been in San Francisco never been to this spot. The Crookedest Streets looks really amazing and beautiful.
we drove down this street before for fun :) actually I walked since I was the one taking pictures :) I love the flowers on the side street here, and yeah, this is one very busy street
This is one cool street. :)
It would be great to walk down this street. I thought it looked quiet until I saw the shot of all the tourists at the bottom!
15 years ago I'd be flying down there on the old skateboard....ah the good ol days.
