	VIA Online: San Francisco's Lombard Street
		The Crookedest Street in the World; the main entrance to the Presidio; Telegraph Hill and Coit Tower; some notable private residences: Herb Caen lived at No. 101 Lombard; No. 900 served as the exterior of Jimmy Stewart's home in Vertigo; No. 953 was the house used for the 1994 season of MTV's The Real World.
		Lombard traverses North Beach and, on its way west, serves as a portion of Highway 101, but more important, Lombard provides the only vehicular access to Telegraph Hill and landmark Coit Tower.
		This thoroughfare is better known as the Crookedest Street in the World, a moniker stemming from the fact that, in 1922, city engineers crammed eight cobblestone switchbacks into a single steep block of Lombard.

	Identity and Cultural Exchange 600-1600: Philip Shaw, 'Constructing the English Gentleman...'
		Layamon appears, therefore, to be responding to a perception of the existence of two variant names for the hill.
		Layamon draws attention to the fact that, although the hill was previously referred to as Tumbe Eleine, it was called Mont Saint Michel in Layamon's day.
		It would appear, then, that Layamon was not simply confused by Wace's Chinon, nor was he attempting to replace Chinon with the more obvious Caen.
