Lombard St and Ghirardelli Square Investigation
July 3, 2007
 Domenico "Domingo" Ghirardelli learned about chocolate by the time he was 20. He set up his first shops in Peru and Uruguay, but the time during the Gold Rush, Ghirardelli’s neighbor packed up a lot of chocolate and said for SF bay. One year later Ghirardelli followed him in to SF. Ghirardelli’s sons  bought a block of land in SF after Ghirardelli gave them his business. That is how Ghirardelli Square came to be one of SF landmarks.
Lombard St. is the most crooked street of all America. If there were no curves in this street then people would be killed because of how steep it is, it is steeper than Filbert Street, and that itself is really steep. The most expensive and classiest housing is on Lombard St, and it is full of color with plants and flowers of every color. The best way to take a photo of Lombard St. is to be at the bottom and be looking up, seeing all the cars coming though and people walking down. |
