Trip #187 Flowers Avenue to Hazelwood Avenue, Hazelwood, Pittsburgh took place on September 3, 2018, and was published on September 17, 2018.
What do you want to make? A painting, a sculpture, a cake, a quilt, a film, a ‘zine, a garden, a podcast, a song, a scrapbook, a birdhouse, a bat-house? Start making it. Step away from those people who think your idea is silly or a waste of time. Step away from that inside voice saying it’s silly or a waste of time. If you want to make something, start making it. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done this before, YouTube, books, your friends and your brain will help figure it out. Help might even be found inside the Book House on the corner of Flowers and Nansen in Hazelwood. Why is there is a book house here? Because someone decided they wanted to make it – and then they did.
Field Notes: These stairs are partially closed but they lead along the most curious street (Nansen Street)! Kind of looks like the site of a housing co-operative or communal living space. Lots of gardens, art, and spaces that have been re-purposed for socializing and relaxing!
Want to visit these stairs? You can locate them on the Pittsburgh City Steps Plan website!
