Unless they had a small car the end stuck out a little into the road.

I guess this proves that they got it right. I’d expect the THPS fans who run GSS to recall that Lombard Street was the starting point in the San Fransisco level of THPS1.

I'd check it out next time I visited the West Coast but its a bit out of the way of the usual tourist spots, y'know. Maybe when I'm driving into town. Still, crookedest or not, Lombard street is really cool-looking. Nice post! Oh, cool!

I remember a scene in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World where the entire entourage of treasure-seekers chase each other back and forth down the curvy road. Bill Cosby lampooned the street in one of his old Vegas-era albums. "At the corners they planted trees in memory of the people who've killed themselves while driving it," he joked.
