These steps were my playground and my slide. We used Cardboard boxes to ride down them. Now Joker was filmed there and the steps are a tourist attraction! Go figure. Stories from the Bronx never seize to amaze me! Audrey

I played on those steps many days. Also on the roof of Lewis Morris sometimes. I lived down the block on Walton Ave. Memories

Wow I used to live there! 1749 Grand Concourse (The Lewis Morris) We had a great time up and down those stairs. In all seasons too! Rhoda from The Mary Tyler Moore show recorded her wedding pictures there. Even JLo walked up those stairs in Made in Manhattan. Good memories!

Oh what memories! We used to use cardboard and slide down the slopes. Had to be careful at the dropoff at the bottom, always broken glass there. I lived in the red bldg, my cousins lived in the Lewis Morris.

This shot looks over the roof of my house (1705 Townsend) where I lived from 1959 - 1965.

CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY TIMES MY SILLY A@# BUSTED MY HEAD FALLING OFF THE BANISTERS BUT KEPT GOING BACK FOR MORE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SNOWED HARD. WE WOULD GET THE HOOD OFF OF A STRIPPED CAR THEN SLIDE DOWN FROM GRAND AVE THEN SEE HOW MANY FLIGHTS OF STAIRS WE COULD CLEAR. DAMN YOU BROUGHT BACK SOME MEMORIES SON

These steps are on Walton Avenue. Before the building on the right was built, there was a wall up to the Concourse and it collapsed. And adjacent was an empty lot (prior to them building the Cross Bronx Expressway). I and friends would go get a nice big sour pickle from a vendor (across from Selwyn Avenue, indoor open market) and bike over to these steps and eat our sour pickles and sour tomatoes.. my mouth is watering as I write! LOL This lot also had carnivals, with rides and games to win small items (like stuffed toys). The lot also had rocks and we would climb up to the Grand Concourse and also a few small caves in the wall and you could hear the Independent "D" train subway line.
