A new Bronx tourist attraction - the Highbridge stairs (New York: neighborhood, wedding)

[Clarallel]

Interesting that people no longer just go to see a tourist site - they shoehorn themselves into the action.

Wonder if nearby businesses are making some money from this.

‘Joker’ Stairs Become a Bronx Tourist Draw. Hope You’re in Shape.
Visitors have been flocking to a long set of Instagram-ready outdoor steps in the Highbridge neighborhood where a memorable scene of the movie was shot.

Some SJWs complained about this and were upset that they didn't but anything from the bodega

I go to the Bronx for some West African food and then get the hell out. No way I'm sticking around to climb some stairs

You just found this out now. Been a hot topic since the movie was released.

It’s a flash in the pan, and there’ll be another smaller flash-in-the-plan during awards season and then another when it gets home/streaming release and that’ll be that.

This is old news. People are just pissed because its bringing overcrowding and an inconvenience to locals at a main pedestrian walkway.

wonder if these are the same stairs shown in the wedding episode of the sitcom Rhoda in 74

Yea, it's pretty reasonable to be annoyed.
