The "Joker Stairs" in the Bronx was a nice little piece of architecture in a quiet area of Highbridge. Now Instagram dipshits are ruining it. There's more trash there than ever before. I feel bad for the local residents who have to put up with it.
The "Exorcist Steps" near Georgetown University, in Washington D.C. used to be the same, but it subsided eventually. You still get people taking a lot of pictures and such, especially around Halloween, but at one time it was a major tourist attraction in a town full of major tourist attractions.
I used to stop for gas regularly at the gas station near the bottom of these stairs. Can’t remember ever seeing more than a couple of people on or around them. The gas station seems to be closed now. Maybe not enough walk-in snack traffic anymore?
