jnelsoninjax Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Toymaker Hasbro transformed San Fransisco's famed Lombard Street into a life-size rendition of its classic children's board game Candyland, the company said. Four teams of children participated in a Candyland-type game on the crooked city street Wednesday, KGO, San Francisco, reported. Hasbro hired costumed characters and had the block landscaped to complete a streetscape resembling the winding path of the game board. "I don't mind it, but some of my neighbors do," a Lombard Street resident said. The company reimbursed residents for landscaping. "Candyland has been cherished for years by millions of people," Hasbro representative Christina Gomes said. A team of children from University of California, San Francisco Medical Center won the game. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
