Micheltorena Heart Stairs

UPDATE (April 25, 2022): The beloved Micheltorena Heart Stairs (a.k.a. "Stair Candy") have been whitewashed. Fingers crossed, the original artists (Corinne Carrey, Carla O'Brien, and Mandon Bossi) repaint them. UPDATE 2 (May 26, 2022): As of today, the stairs are back! Big thanks to artist, Carla O'Brien. Across the street from Micheltorena Elementary School is this 78-step staircase. If you stand back several feet at the bottom of the stairs, you can see hearts carefully painted on the vertical part of the steps. Gaily colored in rainbow hues, this hidden staircase in Los Angeles is a lesser-known part of the Silverlake neighborhood.
