Show Notes
After all the leaves fall, you can see what exactly sits on all of Pittsburgh's hills. You might be noticing steep steps all around the city, and these staircases were actually the city's first form of mass transit. Cataloging and preserving these steps is a relatively new priority, and the City Cast Pittsburgh team explored a set of steps with three authors of City Steps of Pittsburgh: A History & Guide. They're sharing our city's history with the steps and tips for exploring them yourself.
Thanks to Laura Zurowski, Matthew Jacob, and Charles Succop for taking us on the field trip!
