    This actually happened yesterday but I just heard about it and don't think it's been posted.

    It's not only awesome that they created this, but it's extra cool because they made it specifically for a group of kids pulled from both the UCSF Children's Hospital and a non-profit for children from troubled homes, called Friends of the Children.

    Did any SF clutchfans get out to see it? Maybe CHI? I wish they had done this when I was there in March! :)

    Yeah.... "Candyland."

    That's why they wanted the street colored that way...

    It's moments like these when I'm proud to be a Texan.

    I knew that post was coming, but at least you got it out of the way early. Thanks.

    very cool, but the video/pic don't give you the true flavor of driving down that portion of lombard, which can elicit a certain testicular reaction.

    Making your gf walk 6 blocks out of the way to get there and then telling her she has to walk UP the street itself so she can look back down also elicits a very particular reaction.
