4 /5 Gary Pearce: Rate a set of stairs? OK.
First, there are several of them around the river area, and Im not sure which ones Im rating.
They Might Be Giants.
The memorable one was the one with really tall steps. Im not a civil engineer, so I dont know what is involved in designing a staircase. I guess you have a certain elevation to cover at a certain angle, and if you want a straight staircase (not circular or switchback), youre kind of locked into how high each step can be if theyre going to be deep enough for your whole foot.
In this case, really tall. Pictures dont do them justice. Other people climbing those stairs remarked on it.
I guess Im glad they kept this history and didnt just replace it with something more modern (options are available nearby). Thats kind of the story of Savannah - it took some effort to preserve the history, and Im glad someone did.
