It turns out that today is the 60th Anniversary of the game "Candy Land", and to celebrate, Hasbro Toys converted Lombard Street into a life-sized Candy Land game!
Unfortunately, I was out of town this morning and early afternoon. By the time I made my way across town (2:30pm), they were already tearing it down! Boo.
I found some photos on the web, which gives a good idea of what it looked like:

It's too bad I missed seeing it. Would have been fun to see in person.
All was not lost, though....
Since I was in that part of town, I decided to drop by my favorite Chinese Restaurant in the City, U-Lee. I figured visit Judy and her husband, Ken, and order an early dinner to take home for tonight. It's been 11 years since I lived in Nob Hill, and I really miss being so close to this restaurant.
While I was there, I noticed this banner which announced that U-Lee is considered one of the Top 100 Chinese Restaurants in the Country!! Congrats to U-Lee!!!
Looking forward to Pot Stickers and Tomato Beef Curry Chow Mein for dinner tonight! Yum!
i heard this on the radio and wanted to check it out too but of course there's that thing called work that gets in the way. thanks for the u-lee recommendation!
