These steps are located at Roxborough Avenue between Terrace and Boone Streets. On the day of the Art Festival held on Main Street in Manayunk. Bill & I parked up on Terrace Street, and walked down these steps onto Boone Street, and continued down Roxborough Avenue, through Pretzel Park and onto Main Street.
They were not so bad walking down, but very daunting walking back up, especially after walking up and down Main Street, then walking up the steep hills at Roxborough Avenue, before climbing the stairs back up onto Terrace Street.
We felt like real Manayunkers/Roxboroughians using these stairs, as our ancestors a hundred years ago used them often to travel between Manayunk and Roxborough all the time.
This is Bill being his usual silly, goofy, weird self at Pretzel Park. The park is actually shaped into a pretzel. For a little bit of trivia, do you think they created the park, then named it, or named it, then created a park into the shape of a pretzel?
