Tell Us About Your Favorite Stairway Or Path

Fri., Oct. 8, 1999

Crisp leaves rustle softly in the breezes that trail urban walkers striding up and down stairways and public paths. The sounds and the sights set a tone for the days to come fall afternoons, foggy wintery mornings, weather that encourages walking.

We’re looking for public stairways and paths that are aesthetically interesting or just a pleasant stretch to stroll. They don’t even have to go anywhere. We want to share these places in our urban landscape with our readers.

If you know of a stairway or path, send the street location, or enough directions so we can find it, to Stairs, Features Department, The Spokesman-Review, P.O. Box 2160, Spokane, WA 99201; or e-mail it to susane@spokesman.com.
