Stairs to nowhere..silly question

There's a block of Outer Drive in Brightmoor that has stairs going up to the houses. As far as I can tell, there just happened to be a hill there that nobody bothered to flatten. Cross streets are Westbrook and Bentler.

I remembered this quirky thread while researching my dad's old 'hood [[1920s & 30s) in Hamtramck. Glad I did. Check out the two together, at about 2718 Denton St. near Jos. Campau.

Some very interesting threads are resurrected on his board. :-)This, for example, has been fascinating. I suppose those must be the meadows of heaven? [[nyuck, nyuck, ehhhh...)

...or the spirits of families who lived there or events in the past! Maybe there's some residual energy there. Whooooh, ghosts!

Brooms and snowshovels... kisses and call-outs... hands in chins waiting for the mailman... ice cream dripping.

Such a beautiful church, it was a sin to lose it to a street widening. So very sorry about that.

Seen at approx. 1535 W. Alexandrine, between Trumbull and Commonwealth: More stairs....leading to what [[I imagine) was the former Harper Apartments. They kept the entrance facade, but nothing else! Kinda cool; it's right next to the alley.
