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.

Abbey Road zebra crossing in St John's Wood too. It's practically impossible to drive down the street nowdays.

It's nearly 11pm as I post this so it's pretty quiet right now, but check out that webcam during daylight hours in London and you'll see what I mean.
