Next time you’re in @onlyinsf swing by Lombard Street, “the Crookedest Street in the World.” This enchanting road is located on a hill with a natural 27% grade, which was too steep for vehicles back in 1922. That’s why a property owner suggested the hairpin-turn design—to allow cars to drive down safely. It later became a one-way street and is today one of the Bay Area’s most well-known tourist attractions.
