America’s most notorious crooked street got a makeover yesterday thanks to Hasbro toy company, in what one onlooker described as “capitalism meets childhood.” The occasion? It’s Candyland’s 60th birthday, so show some respect. Respect in the form of life-size playing board winding down Lombard Street and one hyperrealistic cake.
