It's not?
What street in San Francisco is more crooked?

It's not??? OMG... That sucks!!! I feel dirty and disappointed now. Well, if that's not the crookedest street in the world, then, which one is it????

OMG... I seriously feel so disappointed. I mean, I'm feeling the same way I felt when my mom told me that my dad was not my dad. Nah, I'm just kidding.

... It's a beautiful street, though.

Vermont Street.

It's located in Potrero Hill. Click on the link below and scroll down to Sights & Culture, it's the third one.

Great link, 612bv3.
Vermont Street looks more crooked. Well, I learned something new about the city I love, San Francisco.
Thanks.

San Francisco is awesome.
For those who have never been there, they sure need to go so they can understand.

Thanks for the great pics and commentary, alex3000!

I too share your assessment of San Francisco's beauty.

Also, StevenW, Mister SF is a great website. I've spent many hours reading up on all of the fascinating info on that web. Definately, highly recommended.

Cheers!!
