Another only in San Francisco moment (sort of like when I was walking to work this morning, and a gentleman in a light purple zoot suit, complete with matching long scarf, politely enquired if I wanted to buy a jeweled watch) as Hasbro converted famously curvy Lombard Street into a Candyland board to celebrate the game's 60th birthday.

It's nice that they got kids from local shelters & hospitals to play, and I bet it was a fun experience, but couldn't they have given them a better game? Heck, even chutes & ladders. I would love to see a huge version of Carabande on Lombard, but the insurance would be a nightmare. Heh.
