Crooked Street
Crooked Street in San Francisco
Lombard's crooked street ( Tamil : கோணலான தெரு) is a postcard-perfect image
that represents San Francisco around the world.
Lombard Street in San Francisco is one of America's
crookedest streets. The steep, hilly street was created with sharp curves to
switchback down the one-way hill past beautiful Victorian mansions. If not for the byzantine curves, easing out
this treacherous slope, people could be killed rolling down. For an idea of how
steep this street really is, go two blocks up, to Filbert Street and peer down
over the ridge. Lombard is even steeper.
Some of San Francisco’s most expensive real estate sits on
Lombard Street. This Russian Hill neighborhood possesses stately mansions even
with the endless array of tourists pouring down the street every day. In the
spring and through the entire summer, Lombard Street is alive with color, as
the many beautiful flowers are in bloom.
