Man, there is a block on Goodman in Redondo Beach next to Speckles that is practically vertical. A hill on Ripley near ...actually, right by the crazy guy with the cache of guns...and 190th hill are all pretty intense. I rode straight down them all on a skateboard as a kid. But I'm sane now.

Bothersome to some? Sure there are streets mathmatically steeper than Fargo, but none come near to Fargo's length.

Um, 90 accents seems quite excessive. But I might believe 90 ascents though.
