San Francisco becomes Gotham City for 5-year old cancer patient

Quote:

The whole world is tuning in to one of the most elaborate Make-A-Wish scenarios ever seen, as the city of San Francisco has turned into Batman's Gotham City and made a 5-year-old cancer patient into a superhero. The Make-A-Wish Foundation enlisted more than 7,000 volunteers, including local police, city officials, and the news media to help a young boy named Miles transformed himself into Batkid and San Francisco into Gotham, for a day of adventure including some heroic "rescues." Miles' little brother is filling in as Robin, and his dad is playing the larger sized Batman.

A well-done to my hometown/birthplace San Francisco. This is the spirit of the city I remember form my years growing up. And another big tip of the hat to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for giving yet another child a chance to laugh and smile in a world where they've been dealt a less than fair hand...

"San Francisco is a world class city." former mayor and speaker of the house- Willy Brown. If only the SF Niners could win the Superbowl the same year the SF Giants get the World Series there'd be no doubt...if only for a season!
