    Such a rich street. Just bursting with history. Lombard street must be a wonderful place to live on. The trees are so GREEN and the streets are so clean. It makes the living area so good you wouldn't want to leave. The hills in Dan Francisco amaze me as well, so many movies shot here. Like Miss Doubt fire and many more. Warner Bros is so lucky!!

    At Stanford University in California, the Stanford couple's only son, Leland Stanford, died of typhoid fever in 1884 while traveling in Europe, aged just 15. In grief, the couple decided to spend their accumulated wealth on building a university to honor their son and provide educational opportunities for California teenagers. The world's best university ranking: #3, after Harvard and MIT, remained in the top three for years. In 2015 and 2018, respectively, the second tour of Stanford University, 2018 entered the famous memorial church on the campus.
