Climb Pittsburgh’s 900+ City Steps

from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast

Pittsburgh has the most public staircases in the U.S., but cataloging and preserving them is a relatively new priority. The City Cast Pittsburgh team headed up into the hills with three authors of a new book, City Steps of Pittsburgh: A History & Guide, to get a fresh perspective on our city's first form of mass transit and the rundown on which of the hundreds of city steps should be on the shortlist for a visit. Thanks to Laura Zurowski, Matthew Jacob, and Charles Succop for taking us on the field trip!
