Yellow Brick Road

The other day, I had to go to a meeting off site and it was located in a building at Golden Gate and Leavenworth. Traveling through that area I noticed what looked like yellow bricks painted on the sidewalks. It certainly was not as shiny and bright as the one we are accustomed to seeing in the movie, Wizard of Oz, but it was still very noticeable.

Curious, I asked my coworkers and they told met they were in fact painted to look like a Yellow Brick Road for children to easily follow a safe passage to and from school. 

Here is a great article about when and why it started:

Now I can't get the little Munchkin's voices out of my head singing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road."
