Trip #66 High Street to Seidle Street, Spring Garden, Pittsburgh took place on October 22, 2017, and was published on December 4, 2017.
And the graffiti scrawled on the back of the building reads, “Right Now Someone is Thinking of You.” I read it again, and I smile. I like that. I am thinking of you too.
Field Notes: Little tiny sidewalk flight that’s off of High Street starts at a condemned building that appears to be getting fixed up? New roof at least. Hopefully, it can be saved. If you want to see the graffiti message that was scrawled on the back of the building, visit our Flickr page.
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!!
