4.0 out of 5 stars Great unkown staircase walks in Los Angeles, June 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Stairway Walks in Los Angeles (Paperback)

A great way to learn and see unusual neighborhoods in Los Angeles. I have done about 12 of the 18 walks and it has opened my eyes to the city while getting plenty of exercise. Some of the staircases have approximately 300 steps. I can highly recommend this book for its charming commentary on old neighborhoods as well as the interesting walking routes.

far away from the movies and the industry, are the people and the houses that populated the city. If you really want to see Los Angeles, get this book and try all the walks
