You Belong.
“The
difference
between
longing
and
belonging
is just
be.”
~ Bison Jack
Field Notes: Quaint little wooden flight that leads down from Barry Street to Leticoe. The flight leans in places but it feels very stable – no wobbles at all. Possible orphan houses in the middle of this flight, but all look very nice and well cared for. One had a You Belong sign prominently displayed in the front garden that prompted my memory to recall a Bison Jack poem I like so much.
Want to visit these stairs? You can locate them on the Pittsburgh City Steps Plan website!
See the Risograph print of this photo and story in the Mis.Steps Shop.
Be a good neighbor! Have you visited these stairs and found them in poor condition or that illegal dumping (large items like tires, old furniture, and construction debris) and trash were abundant in the area? There are two things you can do to take action and make our city steps cleaner and safer for everyone! First, grab a photo if you can, and submit a report to Pittsburgh 311. All problems, both broken stairs, and railings, as well as trash and dumping, should be reported to the city. You can easily do this online or by calling. If the location has an abundance of illegal dumping and trash, also contact Allegheny Cleanways, letting them know the location and the nature of the garbage. Thank you!!
