Stepping up

NPR had one of its reporters profile the Santa Monica Stairs. Poor guy, it sounded like he almost had a coronary. He's right on the money about the meditative aspects of the stairs, though. Once you get past the searing pain and the urge to hurl, the zone is a very calm place to be. Just don't get in anyone's way. Check out the photo essay that goes along with his report.

A random collection of stairs links follows. If I were still living in LA, I'd start a stairs blog and save whoever reads this one from having to read any more of my obsessive ravings on the topic.

The Travel Channel takes a short look.
