In 2011 I posted about the City Sidewalk Stairs. And again in July 2018
CITY STEPS IN PITTSBURGH.
from July 2018
”Pittsburgh has more public staircases (800+) than any city in the United States. The City’s steps connect communities and provide residents access to transit and other amenities” http://pittsburghpa.gov/

Sidewalks can be steps, too.
Book by Bob Regan Photos by Tim Fabian 
Pittsburgh topography requires innovation- how to get from the bottom of a hill to the top. And in 2010 the snow covered stairs students climbed to Ft. Pitt School.
Author Martin Aurand’s book describes the formation of the topography of Pittsburgh’s hills and valleys. The Spectator and the Topographical City examines Pittsburgh’s built environment as it relates to the city’s unique topography. Martin Aurand explores the conditions present in the natural landscape that led to the creation of architectural forms; man’s response to an unruly terrain of hills, hollows, and rivers. From its origins as a frontier fortification to its heyday of industrial expansion; through eras of City Beautiful planning and urban Renaissance to today’s vision of a green sustainable city; Pittsburgh has offered environmental and architectural experiences unlike any other place.”
Frank Sinatra Looking Out a Window
While stopped at a red light, I looked to my left and wondered about that crazy middle door in the center of the second floor. Going where?
When I uploaded the photo on the computer tonight, I noticed Frank Sinatra peering out the upper window.

Freedom Tower Two Views
My sister sends me photos from her early morning walks in New York City.
Her guest blogging helps me with interesting posts when I’m not really going anywhere.
It’s cool she’s a tourist where she lives. Thanks, Mary.
