Candy Land Treat


The popular children’s board game Candy Land came to life in San Francisco today, so I decided to go check it out. The event was to celebrate the game’s 60th anniversary.

Lombard Street, known as the world’s most crooked street, was transformed into a life-size version of the game. Organizers closed off the street to traffic and covered the road with multi-colored foam pads and posted signs leading to “Lollipop Woods” and the “Chocolate Swamp.”

It was fun taking a walk down memory lane, remembering when I used to play Candy Land as a kid. Apparently it was also fun for the hundreds of others who showed up to take pictures next to the colorful display.
